Move to rust-ndarray organization?

[termoshtt]

I create a rust-math to manage my rust crates related to scientific computing, and move this crate there.

I think it would make sense to move it to rust-ndarray.
It would increase the potential size for the pool of maintainers, giving out a stronger signal that it's a project meant to stay.

Furthermore, ndarray-linalg is de facto the only maintained crate for linear algebra that tightly integrate with ndarray: the latest release of linxal is two years old.
The value of ndarray itself would be greatly diminished if this crate were to be abandoned.

What are your thoughts? @bluss @jturner314

Moving ndarray-linalg to the rust-ndarray organization sounds good to me. It is a pretty essential crate for ndarray. It looks like @termoshtt can transfer the repo to rust-ndarray by following this procedure. I'll then accept the transfer, make sure @termoshtt still has full permissions for ndarray-linalg, and we should be done.

@termoshtt Would you like to add one or both of us as a second "owner" of ndarray-linalg on crates.io? That would be fine with me and would help provide redundancy, but if you'd like to retain sole ownership, that's fine too.

I think some member of rust-ndarray should be owner of this crate after transferred.

I agree - the whole point of having an organization is to be able to step in and keep developing the projects of the organization even if the main maintainer does not want to or is not able to keep doing it.

I try to transfer

maybe some notification goes to @jturner314 ?

[jturner314]

Huh, according to GitHub's documentation, I would think that I would have received an email notification to accept the transfer (the docs say "When the current owner initiates the transfer, the new owner will receive an email giving the option to accept or reject the transfer. If the new owner doesn't accept the transfer within one day, it won't complete."), but I didn't receive any such email.

@termoshtt I've invited you to be a member of the rust-ndarray organization. If you accept the invitation, you should have the necessary permissions to create repositories in rust-ndarray (and perform the transfer successfully).

[termoshtt]

Thanks! and transfer is done.

[jturner314]

Great! I've given you admin permissions for rust-ndarray/ndarray-linalg. The only remaining piece is to add one or both of us as owners on crates.io.

[termoshtt]

I've sent invitations to both.

[LukeMathWalker]

Accepted @termoshtt.

[jturner314]

I've accepted as well. I think we're done now!
