Sync-up: WireMock ecosystem

[oleg-nenashev]

Hi @marcinziolo, thanks for this project! Duplicating and expanding my old email from July, because we have a few Hacktoberfest contributors who want to improve the extension.

In April I joined WireMock Inc. to help with building the open source ecosystem and the community around the WireMock project. So I started reaching out to maintainers and built solution pages including the Kotlin one: https://wiremock.org/docs/solutions/kotlin/. If you have some time, it would be great to get your feedback on WireMock and the missing features, as well as any support you are looking for as a maintainer. We're currently introducing the GitHub organization with open governance that could help to simplify maintenance and onboard more contributors/maintainers - https://github.com/wiremock/ . Maybe you would be interested to move project there.

P.S: The engineering team at WireMock Inc uses mostly Kotlin on their own. We currently explore options to support WireMock Kotlin DSL extensions and Kotest integrations that we consider adopting internally for test automation

HI @oleg-nenashev, sorry for the delay, I was quite busy.
Have you tried to improve the extension during Hacktoberfest? Do you have any suggestions?
I think it would be nice to have this project in the wiremock org. I don't mind if you would like to move it there :)

Hi @marcinziolo. Sorry for the response delay, a week ago I returned back from a sick leave with pneumonia and missed this thread initially. For Hacktoberfest, AFAICT, we didn't get a concrete outcome though a few contributors teamed up to do some patches at the London meetup. I think we could improve it.

As for hosting on the WireMock org, indeed would be happy to cooperate on that if you are interested!

Just in case, I sent you an invite to the GitHub org
