Can anybody from the Julia Graphics team transition the QML binding, please:

> <https://github.com/barche/QML.jl/issues/163>

> Might be worth transferring to the https://github.com/JuliaGraphics org (where t…he other GUI packages seem to live) to allow additional maintainers?

Do we know, who has admin rights, and can we ping them? Thanks

To transfer a repository from an individual’s account to an organization requires the individual to be an owner of that organization, if I understand Github’s rules correctly. As `@barche` is already an owner of JuliaGraphics, I think he can transfer the repository at any time.

I dont find barche in this list at all.

That’s because you’re not in the organization - his setting is “private”, so non-members can’t see it. I can - he’s three entries above me. But perhaps I shouldn’t be telling you 😀

Does the [JuliaGraphics](https://github.com/JuliaGraphics) organization has a chat channel or something similar?

Maybe its time for that as well?

I think it would be useful to have a channel (less public than this) to discuss things, when to make a new release, what to fix and how, how to test things (GUIs are not so easy to test) and to help each other…

I don’t have a Mac, so I can’t do testing on Mac, but others might have it etc…

Perhaps use Slack: [The Julia Language Slack](https://julialang.org/slack/) ?

But I guess that it would make more sense if one of the senior members creates a #julia\_graphics channel…

Honestly, I would rather use something open source.  
This Discourse?  
Something similar?  
Sadly, the Julia community seems already spread, and I dont intend to spread it even more, otherwise I would have suggested something similar to Matrix, Rocketchat and Mattermost.

Well, the alternative used by the Julia community would be [Sign up | Zulip](https://julialang.zulipchat.com/register/)

</div>

Yeah, I know. Between Zulip and Discourse, I prefer Discourse. And I guess this is something, we could simply ask in a poll.

Particularly between the already existing members of said group. What do you think on that?

Perhaps use github discussions for now:

> **[Build software better, together](https://github.com/orgs/JuliaGraphics/discussions)**

> GitHub is where people build software. More than 100 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 330 million projects.

OK, I wrote a post: [QML.jl will be joining JuliaGraphics · JuliaGraphics · Discussion #2 · GitHub](https://github.com/orgs/JuliaGraphics/discussions/2)

Lets see how many people will join… The advantage of course is that everybody has a Github account already and no extra SW is needed…

@cormullion Is it possible to add custom labels, e.g. QML ?

We are currently struggling to release the next version, which is something the current maintainer likes to do, before he moves over the project.
