[launching-pad] Find a home for the "Rust By Example" Working Group

[jamesmunns]

This is a tracking issue for finding a long-term home for the WG-Rust By Example team.

Lead:

• @marioidival

Hey there all, as part of #118, I'm starting the triage process of trying to find permanent homes for teams currently under the launching pad. As WG-Rust By Example is also a working group, #91 is also relevant.

In this first pass, I'm making tracking issues for each of the teams, starting the discussion on whether y'all think there is a reasonable team you think would make sense to move under, and in general checking whether the members of these teams are still actively working on things related to these teams.

It looks like https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-by-example is still quite active, so no need to confirm that, in #118 (comment) it was suggested that there are some other groups that might make sense to group together with Rust By Example, or in #123 (comment) it was suggested that it might make sense to home the book team under the lang-docs team. Do either of those suggestions seem potentially reasonable for Rust By Example?

Thanks!

Yes, I agree with move RBE under lang-docs for sure.

Hi @ehuss, @JohnTitor, as leads of the lang-docs team, do you have any objections to adopting "Rust By Example" as a subteam of the lang-docs team, with @marioidival as the lead/member of that subteam? This would allow us to help clear teams currently residing under the Launching Pad top level team.

If this seems agreeable, we can open a PR to the team repo to make this process official.

CC @nikomatsakis and @tmandry as leads of T-Lang, where lang-docs is a subteam of.

I would of course be delighted. I think it'd be great to expand the scope of docs to focus on helping people learn rust.

I'd love to talk about how we can incorporate docs better. Something to consider.

[jamesmunns]

As potential additional teams that may fit a similar profile as Rust By Example, #123 (the Book team) and #132 (community rustbridge) are potential matches as well, however I'd like to get confirmation with those teams whether they are interested in moving into lang-docs as well.

Given that we're adopting the book team as a subteam of lang-docs, it makes sense for us to adopt rust-by-example also. I've put up the PR:

• Adopt rust-by-example as a subteam of lang-docs team#1637
