Updating or archiving this repo?

[bamurtaugh]

👋 Hi @rylev, @mattetti, and @bnb - thanks so much for creating this repo! I'm a PM on the VS Code team working on things like dev containers, and it's always fantastic seeing more examples of dev containers and Codespaces 🚀.

This repo is the top result for internet searches like "Codespaces rust template." I see it's been some time since it was updated, as it mentions a few things that have since changed, i.e. VS Codespaces is now just part of GitHub Codespaces and not a separate product or signup process, and the Remote-Containers extension has been renamed to Dev Containers.

As this is a top search result, I'd love to understand any potential plans for this repo. Would you be interested in me contributing a PR to update the content and/or link to other dev container examples, like https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-try-rust and https://github.com/codespaces/templates? Or would you be interested in potentially archiving this repo if you're no longer interested in maintaining it?

Please let me know however I can help or provide more information. Thank you again!

up to @mattetti and @rylev 👍🏻

Hi @bamurtaugh 👋 This is really up to @rylev But it might be a great idea to update the repo and then point to an official repo (so you keep the SEO traffic when/if the project is archived).

I unfortunately don't have the time to maintain this repo. This might be something @yoshuawuyts could help with though.

Hey guys just a friendly bump on this, I’m trying to set up a code space for Rust and this is the first result for a template. As a first time user to code spaces I’m not sure what the best template is for rust and if this is no longer the go-to I’d appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction. Thanks!

I'm not an admin on the repo so I can't archive it, @rylev would you mind doing it?
