vscodium about vscode HOT 4 OPEN

Hey @Lewatoto, sorry for the slow response. I've submitted a claim for the namespace; see EclipseFdn/open-vsx.org#2001.

👋 Hi @jwaggy, sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I completely missed this issue.

I'm unfamiliar with VSCodium and Open VSX, so you'll need to key me in on what the main benefits are. Are VSCodium users unable to download extensions from marketplace.visualstudio.com? Or is this purely for discoverability?

VSCodium is just VSCode but FOSS as it is built with the Microsoft telemetry turned off/removed.

They can but it must be done manually. If one were to put it on open-vsx.org, people using vscodium could use file-icons by installing in the gui and receive updates in the same manner.

Already exist two versions of this icon package on open-vsx:

• https://open-vsx.org/extension/file-icons/file-icons
• https://open-vsx.org/extension/fileicons/file-icons

and both have this warning:

This version of the “file-icons” extension was published by open-vsx/enriquecaballero. That user account is not a verified publisher of the namespace “fileicons” of this extension. See the documentation to learn how we handle namespaces and what you can do to eliminate this warning.
