I think a "jabber" project would be a more suitable fit for this than "erlang". Then perhaps there can be a subproject of "jabber" for "ejabberd". "erlang" is probably too broad in scope. If there was an erlang project, then it might be sensible to have "ejabberd" be co-maintained by erlang. pgpoq7L1O9uTb.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

An erlang project would create a wrong impression. I have currently no interest in maintaining the larger erlang ecosystem. If there is developer interest in a generic erlang project that would of course be fine, but it would be a project with a different focus. (And I don't think there would be any problem coordinating the 2 projects if they exist, but for now that's a hypothetical situation.) -- Hanno Böck https://hboeck.de/ mail/jabber: ha...@hboeck.de GPG: FE73757FA60E4E21B937579FA5880072BBB51E42

Also saying this from a Elixir (language which borrows a lot from Erlang, like it's VM, librairies and fault-tolerance) developer point of view which tried to package pleroma few months ago in my overlay, there is a bunch of shared dependencies and I'm pretty sure there will be more Elixir applications in the wild.
[gentoo-dev] RFC: Create ejabberd project
Hi, I'm currently working on getting ejabberd up to date in Gentoo. There are a bunch of dev-erlang/* packages whose primary reason for packagin is that they're dependencies of ejabberd (and they're becoming more), most of them currently in maintainer-needed status. I'd like to group those together as maintained by an ejabberd project and a corresponding mail alias. (And hopefully in the long term won't be the only person being in that Project.) https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Ejabberd -- Hanno Böck https://hboeck.de/ mail/jabber: ha...@hboeck.de GPG: FE73757FA60E4E21B937579FA5880072BBB51E42
