Add more maintainers or transfer ownership

[Manishearth]

As you mentioned on Twitter you wanted to transfer ownership of this. This is a pretty visible website for Rust; and people keep linking to it so it's important that we keep it up to date 😄

Many of us would be more than happy to help maintain it. I suggest handing it over to the Rust Community Team, but handing it over directly to @steveklabnik, @reem, or @seanmonstar would work too (if they wish to maintain it, of course).

Thanks!

Yup! Would be happy to facilitate whatever makes sense here.

After multiple attempts to get an answer from chris about this, I took the liberty to fork the project to continue its development.

In a first step, I merged the pending pull requests #9, #10, #13 and #21 as well as added the items of #20 and #22 . I also restructured it to be hosted using Github-Pages alone, so with every push it is immediately deployed and I am happy to grant anyone write access, who wants to help curate it.

You can find it hosted at www.arewewebyet.org.

Further more I started a complete rewrite of the website, with a clearer (and more accessible) design based on jekyll to render from markdown, split into various sub-topics (like database, frameworks, etc) and import cargo-package data to give a more comprehensive and complete picture of what is the current state. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it, and again, welcome everyone, who wants to help!

I think hyper should probably be green on both counts (not sure of the other libraries), but otherwise looks good!

Eagerly waiting for the rewrite!

Thanks. I am currently only linking to the shields.io-badge generated out of the crates and they come with – IMHO sane – defaults of only marking versions of 1.0+ and downloads of 1k+ as green. Unlike right now, this is live data – which is one of the goals of the rewrite: too leverage more actual data that is out there rather than our (sometimes very outdated) external idea.

I am, however, very happy to discuss how to spotlight/highlight certain tools and libraries we consider stable (as the group of curators). I opened a ticket to discuss how to achieve that.

@Ligthyear Thanks for taking the liberty to fork this and make a separate website. Now it will be just a matter of time until the website takes precedence over the current one on a Google search.

Triage: I set arewewebyet.com to redirect to www.arewewebyet.org back in February some time, I think it was. Or maybe March. Anyway, yonks ago.
