Is this repo abandoned?

[kevinji]

Seems like there hasn't been any activity for almost 2 years; has this repo been abandoned? Should the community fork it to keep it alive?

@kevinji I take the lack of response as a yes ...

It would be good if repo owner assign several people as maintainers, to review pools requests and merge PRs.

I've actually been working on a fork of this repo here:

https://github.com/jamesgraves/rust-cookbook

I've only gotten through about half of the examples, and have to convert the other half, even before adding a whole bunch more.

The CHANGES.md file explains what I've been going for.

I'd been sort of waiting until I finished with the conversion before approaching the current project maintainers (if they can even be contacted), but I am open to accepting help already.

There are bunches of examples that could be added (no particular order):

• tokio, async-std and related
• more database examples, including object databases, graph databases, BonsaiDB
• Raft Consensus library
• advanced data structures
• basic and advanced TCP/IP networking
• more with file system traversal
• zip files and other archives
• sound, graphics, game engines
• GTK, Qt, FLTK, Bevy + eGUI, other UI toolkits
• GPU processing, CUDA
• machine learning, Tensorflow
• high-performance computing: OpenMP, etc.
• network filesystems
• statistics, math, bignum libraries
• crypto, SSL, SSH, other public key encryption, X.509, RusTLS
• social media APIs
• personal file sharing: OwnCloud, etc.
• search engines
• AWS and other cloud services
• buffer pools, garbage collection, or other reference-counted examples
• IPv6 address processing
• authentication / authorization: Oauth2, LDAP/AD, DNS lookups
• cloud stuff: LB, status reporting (Vigil), routing, orchestration, containers
• version control: libgit2: clone, change branches, create commits, push, pull
• cargo & project integration via things like cargo-edit

The only limit is available free time...

This is excellent @jamesgraves I am rookie rust developer myself but I am very willing to help in any way I can. I'm coming from backend api development with nodeTS background. Please let me know of any way I can be useful to this course.

[jamesgraves]

I will accept pull requests. If you want to convert some existing samples, great. If you want to add a new one, also great.

For the existing examples, I was going in alphabetical order, and stopped before getting to net.

Hi,
I'm adding a comment because I am glad to have found the version by jamesgraves,
https://github.com/jamesgraves/rust-cookbook
because the example I was trying out
https://jamesgraves.github.io/rust-cookbook/file/dir.html#find-all-png-files-recursively
did not work any more in the original.
