Description
Codebox is such a amazing product, that even if this has no recent updates, it still continues to work well with the base features. What we love about it is in addition to the IDE, it also comes with a terminal built in, unlike a lot of other alternatives.
At School of Devops, we conduct trainings for ops folks, who need to write automation code and deploy to a cluster of nodes. We are using codebox along with docker to build/simulate multi node cluster running inside a single VM. Prior to this, we would have to rely on multiple VMs, which would turn out to be expensive on resources, and in many cases, would not work on a personal laptop.
Even though, the basic features are great, we need to start adding new features, making changes to suit our multi node environment. After going through the commit history, long pending pull requests, and dormant status of this project, we have come to a conclusion that we may have to fork this project.
We, hereby would like to convey the intent to fork this project. If the maintainers/authors of codebox, would like us to continue maintaining this project, we would like to start contributing to the same project without forking it. However, if we are not able to contribute/make changes, we have no option than going ahead with the fork. We would also like to applaud the team who created this awesome project and appreciate you releasing it under a liberal Apache 2.0 license.
We intend to maintain the current source, license for the parts that we are incorporate and continue to publish the fork under the same license Apache v2.0.
