Discussion: Create Github RegJS organisation?

Hi there,
while brainstorming about my talk in Amsterdam about RegExp.JS I think more and more about the "family" of JS-RegExp tools we build so far together:

• regjsgen: https://github.com/d10/regjsgen
• regexpu: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/regexpu
• regjsparser: https://github.com/jviereck/regjsparser
• regexpjs: https://github.com/jviereck/regexp.js

Soon, there will also be a

• regjstraverse

Given this family, how do you feel about creating a central GitHub organisation, to host these projects? This should make it easier for people to find them and also I also think it's good to have the repos in one place, as they depend on each other heavily.

Thoughts?

(Sorry, GitHub was doing something wired and saved the first comment before I had finished writing. If you don't see a "Thoughts?" at the end of the previous post, then you please take a look at the updated version on the GitHub web page.)

I think it doesn’t really matter where the repos are, as long as we document it properly. A good start would be to link to these tools (except for regexpu, because that’s just a consumer of the AST and not really part of the toolchain IMHO) in the regjsparser README.

You could create the GitHub organization if you think it helps, and fork all the relevant repositories there (probably not regexpu though), similar to what https://github.com/es-shims is doing. That way you get the discoverability benefits without having to move everything over.

👍 I’m definitely all right with this, and I’ll shift regjsgen over to the organization that you create.
