Mica & Elstoc are no more interested in maintaining the Darktable documentation.
We can thanks them for all the work done on this part of the project up to now. Thanks!
That being said, the documentation has no more maintainers and we need some people to take the this position. I’m not sure about all the work involved but the first important point is to handle the PR on dtdocs (commenting with the authors about needed changes, and finally merge them when ready).
If you feel like working on this part of the project, please reply so that we can coordinate and give you the permissions to handle PR.
Let’s be clear: it was your combination of action and inaction, @Pascal_Obry, from your position of power as maintainer of the project that lead to me leaving the project.
I didn’t roll my ass out of bed one morning and go “huh i guess i don’t care about that anymore.”
But adding insult to injury just seems to be how you do things.
I agonised over the decision for really a very long time (dtdocs is my baby and it’s hard to let go of it) but ultimately felt it was better for the project for me to stand aside. I wish all success to whoever takes over.
After reading all the sad posts I’ve come across here on this sad topic in the nearer past, I have to say that the wording you’ve chosen brings the whole thing to an even sadder conclusion and represents an - from my point of view - inaccurate oversimplification that completely ignores the context. I’m truly disappointed.
Thanks to @elstoc and @paperdigits for all your effort you have put into this really wonderful project. Kudos and my deep respect for your decision.
The debate has already happen, we are not going over this again, right? The project needs new maintainers. You are not volunteering, please don’t spam this thread. TIA.
That is unfortunate, but sometimes people need to move on.
Thank you @paperdigits and @elstoc for your dedication. Without you, the docs, and dt for that matter, would not be as high calibre as they are (though its state cannot keep up with the speed of development ). I know you still care a lot about the project and will continue to use dt in the foreseeable future.
@Pascal_Obry Even though I do not use dt, thank you for maintaining it. I know it is hard work and harder still to engage with the community. It did not go well in the past while, but I am sure others will fill in the void. Hope you can find those you can work well with. It may just be a matter of having a new person on board.
I would be interested in helping. I don’t, however, have the copy editing expertise we have been used to, and I don’t currently use any of the AI features. If there are people who do have that expertise, they would be better placed to help.
I’m comfortable with using github, and I’d be happy working with others who have different skills.
