The Slow Collapse of MkDocs

localuser13

A very surprising development indeed. The original author (who is also the leading maintainer of httpx, another huge package) started a crusade against male-dominated spaces such as... Github issues and discussions. >So… sharing the source isn’t the problem here. The issue is the GitHub working environment. I’m not interested in the smokey boys-only-club atmosphere, it feels starkly unprofessional. >We’re not having any more conversation in all-male online spaces. Not happening. It looks like 3 weeks ago a similar change happened in httpx - github discussions were disabled. https://github.com/encode/httpx/discussions/3784 >I don't want to continue allowing an online environment with such an absurdly skewed gender representation. I find it intensely unwelcoming, and it's not reflective of the type of working environments I value. As a mkdocs user and a httpx user I find that concerning - I hope personal issues won't harm those projects long term (well it looks like mkdocs is already dead).
