Maintainance check-in

[carlosjeurissen]

@YozhikM Is this package still being maintained? There seems to be a fork:
https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/stylelint-a11y

Which is also published to npm. Can we potentially work towards one package being on npm and figure out how we can at least keep up to date with stylelint releases.

Seems another clone showed up:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@double-great/stylelint-a11y

Another fork: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ronilaukkarinen/stylelint-a11y

@ybiquitous and @carlosjeurissen, looking at the forks mentioned above, the most active is https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/stylelint-a11y. With that said, I saw Carlos opened an issue asking about moving to a single maintained and published version of this package, and there has not been any response.

I am happy to take up moving this into the Mechanical Ink organization here on GitHub and support the future development and maintenance of the project. I have already forked it with this intent: https://github.com/mechanical-ink/stylelint-a11y

I was considering publishing packages such as this using an @a11y namespace on npmjs, but it looks like someone already uses the namespace.

https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=@a11y

With that said, the two published packages have not changed in between 3-4 years. One could use @accessibility as the namespace as it looks to be free. I look forward to hearing back from both of you.

@schalkneethling Thanks for the mention. It would be great if someone could drive a11y linting!

In fact, there was a similar discussion (stylelint/stylelint#6212) in the Stylelint repository. If you're interested in the discussion, please feel free to leave a comment on the stylelint/stylelint#6212 to inform your activity. 😄

Thanks for the pointer, @ybiquitous - I am going to take a look.

Does anyone know who currently has access to the npm stylelint-a11y handle? And if we can potentially add more people to it so we can work towards one package? Happy to assist here.

We have moved development here: https://github.com/developer-stylechain

@schalkneethling seems another clone is being worked on and added support for stylelint 16:
https://github.com/double-great/stylelint-a11y

Can we agree on a single repo to continue developing the plugin?

Let me reach out to those folks and see whether they want to merge into Developer Stylechain. Thanks for the heads up.

@schalkneethling seems https://github.com/double-great/stylelint-a11y is now working perfectly fine in stylelint 16. So it seems best to direct development to that repository.
