Sqlite_ecto2 new maintainer
In this post, Eric Scouten and I noted that i would be helping out maintain sqlite_ecto2. It’s pretty well known that I have a soft spot in my heart for sqlite, and this project is pretty important to me both professionally and personally.
i use it professionally for Farmbot and I also use it for a number of personal projects usually in the embedded/Nerves space.
Since i do use it in a production application, I’m hoping to give it a bit of love over the course of the next few months. That being said i’m no expert with Ecto itself, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I’ve set up a new GitHub Organization here and moved the sqlite_ecto2 repo there also. I also created a channel on the Elixir-Lang slack called #sqlite.
If you’re new to sqlite and are interested in using it with Elixir (or Nerves) i actually wrote a blog post about it here
Update
@mmmries Has agreed to move sqlitex to the new Sqlite-Ecto org also.

Really excited to help out with the sqlite_ecto stuff. I hope this can make sqlitex more useful for more people and make production uses of sqlite more practical.

Amazing way to step forward for the tools you use and rely on
Looking forward to seeing your work going forward, and super nice to see things like sqlitex joing in as well … great community spirit in Elixir!

Yes i do plan on it at some point, but i haven’t had time to actually do it yet.
there is an open issue about it here as well as a tracking branch for the latest Ecto 2.x.x release.
There is no hard defined roadmap currently, as i don’t need any ecto3 features as of right now, but the general list of things that will need to happen is:
- update to the latest ecto 2.x.x release (there are issues with this currently)
- rename/fork sqlite_ecto2 to
sqlite_ectoorsqlite_ecto3 - follow the outline defined in this post
I would love some help with this as i just don’t really have the time/ability to do so as of right now because ecto2 is working fine for me currently.
