This is only tangentally related, but this feels like a relevant place
to mention this and I don't think it deserves its own thread.
I think it's also worth considering deleting ob-julia.el from
org-contrib. Not to put to fine a point on things, but it's currently
dysfunctional. Trying to execute any code in a session causes Emacs to
freeze. Simply put, it was written for pre-1.0 Julia and is no longer
fit for purpose.
For the future, I'd think Julia actually warrants 1st class inclusion in
Org, and I've instigated an effort to write an ob-julia that works well.
More on this once it reaches a usable state.
-----
Regarding your the list of proposed files to move to org-contrib, I
concur that they fall under the bar you're setting.
Just going from the fact I haven't heard of them, perhaps ob-groovy.el,
ob-io.el, and ob-shen.el may be worth adding to the list?

Great, I suggest we delete ob-julia.el from org-contrib when we can
point to this new version.

I agree ob-shen.el should probably move.
For ob-io.el, I was perhaps too impressed by their website.
For ob-groovy.el, I believe Groovy is quite actively used out there.
But I'll add these three to the "maybe" list.
Thanks,

Any reason why we can’t move all ob-* files out into this new repo?

I trust Bastien will correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is
this isn't a new repo for "miscellaneous Org stuff" more
"community-developed non-core Org stuff that isn't actively maintained".
The idea here being to move ob-* for rarely used languages to this repo
to lessen the maintenance load.

In that case ob-groovy.el can be moved out.

Yes, that's because Org Babel is a core documented feature of Org that
is not usable without these ob-*.el files.
We want to move out files that are of less importance and for which we
would like maintainance to happen elsewhere than in Org's core.

+1 from me as well, I think Julia passes the "well-established" test and
is an important language for scientific computing.
I like Julia, but only occasionally use it, and it seems to frequently
cause troubles with my Org config whenever I update or move
computers. So I appreciate this effort to support it better -- thank you Timothy.

I happen to be an active user of ob-lilypond. Lilypond is certainly
peripheral to the world of programming languages. It is well established
and active as an equivalent of LaTeX for music though ([1][2][3]).
It comes with built-in support for Emacs [4].
I see no reason to not move ob-lilypond to org-contrib. I understand
that only few of us use it these days. I can’t stand up as a maintainer
since my Lisp skills and my knowledge of org-mode are quite insufficient
for that. I was happy to see that someone submitted a patch for
ob-lilypond in January. I hope that by the time something breaks I’ll be
able to submit a patch myself.

Victor

Lilypond is not just well-established, it is the dominant tool for note
engraving. One of the few domains in which no proprietary comes close in
terms of quality.
I typically use it directly, but if the maintenance burden is
manageable, I could offer maintenance here, too (once I have the papers
in place).
Having support in core directly helps a lot when using the tool, because
that enables working zero-setup org-files (with some load-language in an
elisp block).
Best wishes,
Arne

... which is good if the package is really maintained, and calling for
trouble if it is not. Anyway, I agree with you about the importance
of ob-lilypond.el.

I hope too.
PS: Also, in general, we are not talking about shutting down a
feature: ob-*.el packages in org-contrib.git continue to be available.

+1 on this and the list of proposed languages.
Do any of these ob-* files have FSF copyright i.e. author assigned
copyright to FSF. Just wondering, given the contrib package will live in
non-gnu repo, if this is something we need to be concerned about or not?
Strikes me there is nothing written in stone here, so if a language
becomes popular and it has maintainers, we can always review the
decision to move it 'out' and when justified, move back into core.
I think it is good having a clear distinction and the idea that if your
using a contrib package, it is 'best effort only' and not guaranteed to
work with the most recent org version compared to 'core', which has an
expectation it works with most recent org version.

All these ob-*.el files are part of Org core, so they are part of
Emacs and require the authors to sign the FSF papers.
So there is no real problem here.
org-contrib.git contains files with a free software license: most of
them are GPLv3+, a few of them GPVv2(+) and one (or two, from memory)
is using a MIT license. So there is no blocker for org-contrib.git
to be packaged as a NonGNU package.

Yes - on the other hand, we don't want to move files out of Org's core
too often.

Yes, this is also the idea. That's why I called for more maintainers
for the ob-*.el files, but we're not there yet, and for now it would
be too drastic IMHO to remove some ob-*.el for which we don't have a
maintainer or we are not 100% sure they are compatible. But luckily
enough, I don't think backward compatibility problems happen often
with Babel files.

This is well-established, and once I have my paperwork in place I would
offer maintenance, because this is a major part of the lectures I write
in org-mode.

Thanks for volunteering here. Let me know when the paperwork is done
so that I can you as the maintainer.
Best,

Thanks again for offering your help.
Did you go through the copyright assignment process? I can't see your
name in the FSF copyright file.
Let me know how it goes, and please CC me if you ping the FSF
copyright clerk at <copyright-clerk@fsf.org>
Thanks,

Personally I use ditaa
If those files have copyrights submitted, should they not end up in
GNU ELPA?
If there are no copyrights, then I hope maintainers would include it
in NonGNU ELPA.
Is that intention?

Many of the authors for files in org-contrib did not want to assign
their copyright to the FSF.
That's one of the reasons behind the contrib/ directory in the first
place.
Also, org-contrib in NonGNU ELPA will be a transitory package: once
all the files there find a maintainer and another place where to be
hosted, I'll delete the package and the repository.

Yes, as a transitory stage to help people install it.
Unless someone wants to maintain all the files in org-contrib and the
NonGNU ELPA package.

hi, Bastien,
> 2e0375d2 — Bastien Guerry2 days ago
> lisp/ob-julia.el: Add a Homepage header
that Homepage seems to point at
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/org-mode.git which appears to be
a (the?) full-on org-mode git repo, and which doesn't appear to have
ob-julia.el.
for whatever reason, i point at https://github.com/gjkerns/ob-julia in
case that's of use.
cheers, Greg
ps -- snooping around, trying to figure out if i understood things,
org-link-edit.el seems to lack a Homepage.

apologies, i hadn't taken the time to look at the full git log message:
----
commit 2e0375d20b3a411ddf32194229c7d93f69aa701c
Author: Bastien Guerry <bzg@gnu.org>
Date: Wed May 12 06:20:33 2021 +0200
lisp/ob-julia.el: Add a Homepage header
The Homepage header of ob-julia.el points to the new org-mode.git
repository because we will include ob-julia.el in Org's core.

cheers, Greg

I've made this move now, with the exceptions we discussed in this
thread.

I'm now discarding this call for help on updates.orgmode.org.
