Making the editor plugin available?

[london-coder]

Hello,
Thanks for making this tool available, especially as OSS.

I wonder whether you might consider making the VSCode plugin available in open_vsx.org, thereby letting users of VSCodium install the plugin as easy as it is in VSCode marketplace?

If you would consider doing this, as part of your (I imagine, automated), release process, all updates and releases will be available at the same time. For some idea about how this might be done, I include a link to the wiki page, although I'm guessing you will already be aware of this...

I don't have an objection to this. I can see the older Erlang LS extension was available in the open-vsx marketplace and it's published by @open-vsx directly. Not sure how the syncing works. Maybe the same approach can be used for the new extension?

Hi Roberto,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, you are right about the Erlang LS being available on open-vsx. However, as I understand it, Erlang LS is not longer supported / under development. The last time I looked, they recommend installing and using erlang-langauge-platform; that is newer and still being improved.

According to these docs, the open-vsx bot can auto-sync packages to the open-vsx marketplace, but a PR is needed to add the extension to a list
