In 2024 I was looking for work. I decided to offer my services as a community consultant . Mostly, though, people were interested in technical help getting their Discourse sites fixed or updated. One potential client asked if I could add a contact form for people who didn’t have an account to send fe…

I went though the same thing with many plugins I had written. I didn’t have the bandwidth to modernize them to the Discourse standard. I have a data science-type job so while I know software engineering concepts, I don’t keep up-to-date with the specifics of web dev stuff. In the end I didn’t update…

[изображение] Moin: I think you got the error because of this bug, not because your plugin needed an update right now Does seem likely. Getting on the latest ESR (and being a bit more vigilant testing) seems like a good plan from now on. [изображение] piffy: I think with the advent of ag…

[изображение] jericson: Why hasn’t the plugin tutorial been updated for instance? because we are a fairly small team maintaining a behemoth of a codebase and having to implement new features for paying clients, all the while providing support and keep things working for our open source commun…

Thanks for the detailed info @jericson . As you say, Discourse is in a very different position to OpenSSL both in terms of usage & position in the stack. It’s a constant balancing act of progress, customizability, and stability. There’s no perfect solution that will make everyone happy, but we’re alw…

[изображение] chapoi: because we are a fairly small team maintaining a behemoth of a codebase and having to implement new features for paying clients, all the while providing support and keep things working for our open source community. Totally understand. [1] I really like Discourse and I wr…

[изображение] jericson: For instance, the tutorial could be turned into wiki posts so that people like me can update them. Why does it need to be a wiki for that? The developer documentation is managed via GitHub. I like the process where the changes are reviewed even more than a wiki. [и…

I agree that the plugin documentation should be updated at this point. The goal of the “depreciation” time period where the plugins still work but the site puts up a warning that they will break soon is to give the plugin authors enough time to fix them. Yet in that time period, a team of full-time …

[изображение] piffy: The goal of the “depreciation” time period where the plugins still work but the site puts up a warning that they will break soon is to give the plugin authors enough time to fix them. Yet in that time period, a team of full-time paid developers couldn’t update the core plugi…

[изображение] david: Just to clarify on this point: the deprecation timeline for hbs has only started recently. The earliest we’ll consider dropping support is after the next ESR (end of July). So yes, we should’ve updated the documentation sooner, but this isn’t a case of ‘dropping support with…
