Looking for co-maintainer

[billziss-gh]

I am looking for people to help maintain the SSHFS-Win project as I no longer have enough bandwidth for it.

Maintenance of this project includes:

• Implementation of new features: there are many requests for new features in SSHFS-Win, most of them involving alternative authentication mechanisms.

• Investigation/fixing of problems: there are many open issues against SSHFS-Win although quite a few of them are likely problems of misconfiguration or misunderstanding of how to use SSHFS-Win. There are bound to be some genuine problems as well.

  • To facilitate onboarding and not overwhelm a new maintainer, current issues would be marked as stale and closed after a quick triage.

• Answering questions: SSHFS-Win attracts users of varying levels of knowledge and they often have questions that may need to be addressed.

The ideal maintainer would have some knowledge of:

• SSH / SSHFS.
• Cygwin.
• The Windows file system.
• (Optional) FUSE.

You do not have to be an expert in any/all of the above and you can also count on me supporting you.

What's in it for you:

• Learning about operating systems and file systems.

• Learning about open-source project maintenance.

• A chance of seeing your work being used by a lot of people.

• The warm feeling of helping others :-)

I've been using sshfs-win with Windows 10 since years now, very helpful so far 😄

Saw this pinned while looking for a solution for a problem I'm having with Win11. I think one of the core reasons it's difficult to configure, is that Windows just says "network name cannot be found", there is no clear way to tell what exactly is going wrong.

I primarily use sshfs to mount internal storage of my rooted Android phone onto Windows. Super handy! No more file transfers either 😄 currently trying to see what I missed when doing the same setup on my Win11 laptop.

Sad to see there are no responses here... :/

Wish I could help but I don't have good knowledge on any of the things you mentioned. I'm be up for learning how all this works whenever I have some free time.

Hope you are doing well @billziss-gh ! Thanks for all the work you put into this 😌
