Each project will have a clearer home +and identity while remaining part of LizardByte, with our shared community and support. + +The moves are being prepared now and will happen in stages. Until a repository has transferred, keep using +its current location in the [LizardByte organization](https://github.com/LizardByte). + +## Where the projects are going + +| GitHub organization | Repositories moving from LizardByte | Planned project website | +| --------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- | +| [KokoStreamTV](https://github.com/KokoStreamTV) | `Koko` | `koko.lizardbyte.dev` | +| [SunshineStream](https://github.com/SunshineStream) | `Sunshine`, `awesome-sunshine` | `sunshine.lizardbyte.dev` | +| [Themerr](https://github.com/Themerr) | `Themerr`, `ThemerrDB`, `Themerr-jellyfin`, `Themerr-kodi` | `themerr.lizardbyte.dev` | + +**SunshineStream** will be home to Sunshine, our self-hosted game stream host for Moonlight, and +awesome-sunshine, the collection of Sunshine tools, scripts, guides, and companion software. +**Themerr** will bring the theme song manager and ThemerrDB together under one project organization. +**KokoStreamTV** will be home to Koko, our self-hosted media server, which remains under development. + +The archived Themerr-jellyfin and Themerr-kodi repositories will move with the rest of the Themerr family +and remain archived. The unified Themerr application continues to support Plex and Jellyfin. + +## Why make this change? + +Project organizations give contributors and users a focused place to find each project's repositories and +related work. They also make the relationship between the projects easier to understand: Sunshine, Themerr, +and Koko each have their own identity under the LizardByte umbrella. + +LizardByte will continue to provide shared tooling, community guidelines, and support. Our central website +and community remain the place to discover and follow the wider LizardByte family. + +## Websites and Themerr updates + +The project websites will use the subdomains listed above. The current Sunshine and ThemerrDB pages at +`app.lizardbyte.dev/Sunshine/` and `app.lizardbyte.dev/ThemerrDB/` are planned to become forwarding pages +that guide visitors to the new sites. + +ThemerrDB's data address will also change. Themerr users will need to install an updated release that uses +the new address when that change goes live. Follow the Themerr release notes for the upgrade details. + +## Following the moves + +For now, continue using the existing repositories and releases. We will update project links and organization +profiles as each move is completed. After a repository transfers, update your bookmarks and Git remotes to +its new organization. + +You can follow [SunshineStream](https://github.com/SunshineStream), [Themerr](https://github.com/Themerr), +and [KokoStreamTV](https://github.com/KokoStreamTV) for project updates, and use the +[LizardByte support center](https://app.lizardbyte.dev/support) for community and support links.
