raw-window-handle maintenance

[msiglreith]

I would like to raise some awareness for the current situation of raw-window-handle which is currently mostly unmaintained.
As the crate originated from this wg I created the topic here. Issues right now are related to:

• Creating new releases
• Extending support for new platforms
• Disucss API changes based on user experience

As dealing with all different platforms is difficult, therefore, having multiple people involved would be great.

Could you expand more on what new platforms you'd like to see?

And what API changes?

[msiglreith]

@Lokathor I'm mostly referring to the open issues and PR:

• platforms: currently UWP & redox seem to be requested at least
• API changes: non_exhaustive, Could not retrieve any SDL2 window info rust-windowing/raw-window-handle#56 and Android interactions rust-windowing/raw-window-handle#54

[Lokathor]

Well of course @Osspial has to be on board for any changes.

Getting new platforms is mostly a matter of PRs from people who know how to work that platform. I'm sure once things are waiting on review Osspial will have a lot more incentive to actually review it. It's harder to get up the energy to do something new yourself, particularly during 2020.

Hello, I am now maintainer on the raw-window-handle crate.

Accordingly, I'm going to close this issue here. Please feel free to file any new issues in the tracker there.
