Regular Project Maintenance

[riginoommen]

To keep the project up-to-date and functioning effectively, we need to establish a regular maintenance schedule that includes the following tasks:

Dependencies Update

1. Regularly update all project dependencies to their latest versions.
2. Ensure compatibility with the new backend system.
3. Identify and replace any deprecated packages with suitable alternatives.
4. Verify that all dependencies are compatible with the existing codebase.
5. Conduct regular reviews and merging of pull requests (PRs).

Hey @K-Phoen! Are there other people who can review/merge the PRs here to keep the plugins up-to-date or can you help get people here able to do so we can keep it alive?

Maybe also we can move it to Community Plugins!

Hello @K-Phoen

We are also interrested in maintaining the plugin,

With your agreement, we will be pleased to open a pull-request to the Community Plugins in order to handover the code to the community.

The code and documentation are ready to be submitted from this repo.

Hey @fjudith !

That is awesome progress you have made there! 👏

I think probably @K-Phoen is not active here anymore seems feasible from the old issues that didn't get any interaction.

I would advise going on and opening an MR to add it to the official community plugins repo, the project has the MIT license which allows anyone to do whatever they want with the project from Modifications and distributions, you will just have to retain the same license content specifically the original creator name like here.

What do you think?

I feel with license power an extended version makes more sense

One more pr is needed to update the backstage plugins page reference to update the source.

[AhmedRaafat14]

@fjudith how can I install your version of the plugins until the MR gets merged?
I can't find it on https://yarnpkg.com/

@fjudith with the new pr does it support the new backend.

[AhmedRaafat14]

@riginoommen yes it does
