Merge efforts?

Hi there.

I have been maintaining a program with purposes similar to yours on the repository (formerly, @jplehmann's): https://github.com/coursera-dl/coursera

We have established an organization account and we have some very nice contributors (one of the most prolific is @jonasdt).

We seem to have features that your program doesn't (e.g., our program has supported Python 3 for some time, we have cleaned up the code with the use of requests etc.)

On the other hand, you seem to have features that we don't, like the proper packaging and distribution in the pypi, a proposed GUI (on which one of our contributors, namely, @sharat87 is working) and possibly many other features.

So, I would like to ask if there is interest in joining forces with us, so that we can, collectively, work together and have a be-all-end-all downloader for course (or a "one downloader to rule them all", if you will), so that we all get the best of both worlds, with higher quality, more heads to think about potential problems, more availability to provide feedback for the users and so on.

Thanks for your efforts,

Rogério Brito.

Hi Rogerio,

Thanks for reaching out. Sounds interesting, how did you see this working in practice? Merging repos? Creating new repo? ..

Cheers
Dirk

This sounds great. I like the idea "one downloader to rule them all". If possible, I would like to offer the help.
