Lua repository

[james-callahan]

I'm working on a lua opentracing library.

How do I go about getting a new opentracing/opentracing-lua repository created?

Hi @james-callahan, sorry for the slow reply. We’re definitely interested in a Lua API!

We usually prefer to have more than one maintainer develop the API, and to test drive it in more than one project. I am happy to start with the work you are doing in Kong; it looks really good. We may try to get HAproxy or another similar project involved, but I see there is already interest from multiple developers so I am fine starting with just Kong as the initial target.

I've created a repo here, and added several maintainers. Feel free to port your current codebase over, without making a PR. From that point, we can review and make adjustments to bring it in line semantically with the other APIs, and then look at addressing any additional lua-specific API requirements.

For questions and discussions, consider joining the Cross-Language Working Group on gitter, found here: https://gitter.im/opentracing/cross-language

We also have a weekly working group call, currently at 8:30am Pacific every Friday. I recognize that you may be in Australia, so that call time may not work for you. In general, the OpenTracing calendar can be found here.

Welcome to the team, James! Let me know when you've had a chance to look at this, and I'll close the issue.

Cheers,
Ted

I've been very careful to not make any kong-specific assumptions in the opentracing-lua code base.
It should be usable in any lua context.

Given that kong/opentracing-lua now exists; could you fork that to the opentracing organisation; and then we can ask github to re-parent the fork tree?

Done :)

Yeah :( I won't be able to make any 8:30am US/Pacific meetings; that's 1:30am for me (on a Saturday!).
