Launch Checklist about elm

[kytrinyx]

We are live!

[parkerl]

@kytrinyx is anyone working on elm exercises?

[kytrinyx]

No, I haven't heard anything in a long time.

[parkerl]

@kytrinyx this looks like this task no longer applies?

• a "how to get started" topic in the help repo repo (app/pages/languages/getting-started-with-elm.md)

I've reached out a bit to the elm mailing list / slack channel, and there seems to be a bit of interest. Nothing so strong as a commitment to mentor yet. I need to find a bit more info on he mechanics of that. I'll obviously pitch in, but the whole reason I showed up here was to get my own code nitpicked!

[kytrinyx]

@parkerl Oops. Yeah, it should now be the various docs/ things.

[kytrinyx]

@parkerl I've updated the initial post here to reflect the new launch checklist.

[tgecho]

@parkerl @kytrinyx I think we've pretty much covered all of the bases apart from the active flag and signing up a few core mentors. In the mean time, it seems like it would make sense to soft launch the new track exercises (x-api PR) so we can make sure everything looks decent and also so we have something to show interested Elmers.

@kytrinyx 🔥 in the hole?!?

[kytrinyx]

It's live, you can exercism fetch elm $SLUG. I'm getting on a plane (again) in about four hours. I probably won't deploy the x-api again until Tuesday morning, even if the active flag gets switched earlier (@parkerl you've got commit. Do you want deploy on x-api as well? Cause then you could launch the track whenever you're ready)

[parkerl]

@kytrinyx I'd be happy to deploy but I also think we can be patient. Hope travel is more of a straight line this time.

[kytrinyx]

I got home in under 40 hours! Almost miraculous. Thanks for being patient. I'll be deploying this tomorrow (I don't trust myself at the moment; just walked in the door at home).
