Hello Khalid Baheyeldin (kbahey),

We , "The Drupal Geeks" https://www.drupal.org/drupal-geeks , a subsidiary of Ameex Technologies http://www.ameexusa.com/ are planning to run a codesprint- module porting to D8 in the early weeks of May. From our initial analysis , we see that the module Delete All 'https://www.drupal.org/project/delete_all' is widely used in Drupal websites . Porting the module to D8 is the need of the hour and we would be happy to do the same as a part of the sprint. I will be taking ownership for the module and keeping you posted about it. Just wanted to know if anyone already started on this, is it on github?

Thanks
Hammad

@Hammad Ghani + @gaurav.goyal

I have started the port on this.
Following the instructions provided here I've created a sandbox project where the code will reside.

I haven't pushed the code yet on repository as I haven't committed the most of it. I'll be doing it today and push the code by the end of the day.

Porting is not complete yet and I would be glad if you guys can help.

@dipakmdhrm

You are the first person to provide code for the D8 port, and you have been assigned as a maintainer.

Please make sure that the code remains SIMPLE and therefore MAINTAINABLE. Resist the urge to overcomplicate things. Do not add unnecessary features. Be a responsible maintainer.

Dipak,

What is the status of your code? There is a -dev release, but no stable release for two weeks.

Hamad Ghani contacted me that he has working code.

I don't want to have two developers working separately, competing against each other for who gets the port out first ...etc. Both of you have to coordinate with each other, and work together, not separately.

Find a way to work together please.
