Docs & Tools WG meeting 2019-03-28

Thursday, March 28 2019 (9:00-9:30am PT)

Attendees

Removing Unmaintained Modules
- How do we know what's unmaintained?
- Spectron and Devtron are mentioned. We don't have any volunteers to work on them; should they be moved to Userland?
  - Michelle: difficult to know priorities for projects outside of electron/electron
- What should we do with Spectron?
  - Kilian: still a lot of user-driven PRs. Can we find a community champion for it?
  - RESOLVED: by vote, move Spectron to userland
- What should we do with Devtron?
  - RESOLVED: by vote, move Devtron to userland
Is electron-api-demos doing anything that Fiddle doesn't?
- After last meeting, Kilian looked at Fiddle & hadn't known it had API demos. Fiddle doesn't really "push" this feature; if we wanted Fiddle to be a replacement it could do a better job of demoing the API
- Michelle agees that API demos does a good job of being interactive and demo'ing features. The kind of user who will find value in api-demos is less likely to find that in a power tool like Fiddle
- Sam: Fiddle has the ability to launch a Fiddle with a link.
- Discussion about having a unified set of demo code between docs / gists -> fiddle / api-demos
