Open call for core contributors/maintainers

[gi0baro]

Hi all 👋

This is an open call for people willing to contribute to Granian in a more structured way.

Granian started as an experiment made on my laptop more than one year ago. At time of writing, Granian gets downloaded several thousands of times, and serves several projects in production environments. These facts and the common sense suggest it might be a proper time to reinforce the project maintainability and credibility, sharing the responsibility and design decisions across more than one person.

Being a core contributor or maintainer would mean to:

• participate in architecting Granian, designing features and improving the existing code
• debug, verify and solve bugs
• help the community with issues and questions

Even if current version(s) of Granian are quite feature complete for an HTTP server, a few big themes can already tell the future path for the project like:

• Improving RSGI protocol
• Moving to Hyper 1.0 (when ready) (Move to Hyper 1.0 #25)
• Add support for ASGI extensions (ASGI extensions support #93)
• Start thinking about HTTP/3 (and contribute to the Hyper project for that)
• Expose Rust interfaces so other Rust projects can use Granian directly (Expose Rust interfaces #83)
• ..everything else that might come to your mind :)

I would be glad to discuss the upper points with more people other than me :)

In case you're interested just propose yourself in a comment below, and we can have private chat :)
Also, if you have feedbacks or want to help the project in other ways, you're more than welcome in writing in this issue or contact me directly.

Cheers

I am so far a happy user of Granian and wouldn't mind stepping in and contribute a bit. I already rely on Hyper for some other projects as well, and have a deep interest in networking so should be good. I am not a person with a lot of bandwidth but I should be able to help out as a regular contributor.

Feel free to reach out to me for a private chat so we can see how to get started.

Happy to be a maintainer in case of lack of responses arise.

@GlenDC @achaayb @Andrew-Chen-Wang just to give you all a quick update: I'm currently in the process of moving to a different country, thus I gonna postpone discussion on this to the next month to have proper time and mental room to handle this properly and contact you all privately.

Thank you for proposing yourselves for this, talk to you soon!

Hello! I have some thoughts about multiprocessing, IPC, and such. If you are still looking for maintainers, I can help with that. I have also started to work on a framework that uses RSGI - while developing it, some ideas also popped into my head :D https://github.com/distantmagic/intention . I intend to base a lot of my open-source stuff on Granian. If you want to talk, let me know. :)
