I'd love to contribute to this. Is this a matter of a straight conversion of test files from JS to TS? I could totally take this project.

[cnishina]

Woo hoo! Thanks for volunteering!

This is going to not make this milestone since it was more of a wishlist type item. I am thinking we could be split between several of us: you, me, and @CrispusDH. I'll do something similar to #5017 where we have a list of test cases that need to be migrated.

I also want to have a PR that is a sample commit.... so let me do this first. I'm out at the end of the week for the holidays but maybe we do this in 2019?

@cnishina , I'd also help to deal with it if needed.

[pittgoose]

@cnishina Great! I'll keep an eye out for word from you.

If there's a first-come, first-serve list of items to choose from, I might be able to contribute time and commits as well.

This is really exciting! Thank you everyone for your interest. Before we all jump on this.... let me come up with an example PR (I will have time on Friday)... It looks like we have 4 people. We'll divide up the work so we do not have duplicate PRs.

Thanks a ton for all your work on protractor, @cnishina!

@cnishina could you share plans? Several PRs waiting for review. :)
