Ecosystem WG

Thursday June 11, 2020 (9:00 AM - 10:00 AM PT)

Attendees

@malept: Prepare Electron Forge 6 stable with a note that Native Node Module support with Webpack is not fully supported.
- Progress being made, but this is longer-term. We'll stop pinging every meeting for this.
@erickzhao: Email Appzi to give feedback about their lack of preferences.
- Fell through the cracks -- doing this now.
@erickzhao: Try to figure out better if there's a better meeting time.
- @kilian was open to alternating meeting times.
- Next meeting moved to 1 hour later.
@felixrieseberg: Look into making the Electron Fiddle experience for switching between major versions more user-friendly.
- Let's create an issue in the repository.
@malept: merge rights for electron/windows-installer?
- example: Dependabot dependency bump
  - Result: Ta-da, permissions are changed. 🎉

@HashimotoYT: What's should be done with disabled apps: delete or stay.
- They're taking a lot of package weight. Can we remove these disabled apps from electron/apps? We're okay with this.
- We should modify @felixrieseberg's script to remove rather than disable old apps.
@HashimotoYT: Metrics for weight of the package
- Need to contact @MarshallOfSound
Move Forge docs into the @electron-forge org
- Done!
