Does Reslter need a new maintainer? #617

Closed vladimino closed 5 years ago

vladimino commented 5 years ago

It seems that @Arul- stepped down from maintaining this very highly popular library. It's pitty but we all have own reasons and obstacles. I'm using Restler in a couple of production applications and would like to see its growth driven by OS community, hence, volunteering to help with maintenance of this project.

Quick self-introduction: I'm a senior PHP developer with 15+ years of experience. Currently, I live in Berlin. In 2019 I decided that it's time for me to give back to the community more than ever before, so I'd be glad to focus my efforts on something I personally use and love.

Let me know what you all think on the subject.

Cheers, Vlad

@vladimino Thanks for your interest and you are welcome to volunteer :)

However, I did not step down :) In fact, I'm actively developing a brand new version of restler

https://github.com/Arul-/reactive-restler/tree/dev

I want to get it functional, and then publish it as Restler 4.0 here!

Let me know, how you want to help. Also in terms of Restler 3 list down the pressing maintenance issues as a user.

@Arul- thanks for coming back to me so quickly!

In fact, I'm actively developing a brand new version of restler

That's awesome news, we'll all be waiting for v4.0.

Let me know, how you want to help

I'll be glad to help in any way:

if you need more hands for v4.0, I'd be happy to offer mine
if you don't have time to go through issues/PRs here, I can do screening/code reviews and even merging to keep it evolving organically
you tell me where I can be useful :)

list down the pressing maintenance issues as a user

I just see that last update was almost a year ago, and that there are open PRs without a reaction since 2016 (still without conflicts, btw). What I would like to see as a user, is that everything is under control and in order, maintainer is responsive and there is some transperency about the project's vision to understand if the proposed idea doesn't fit (e.g. #542).

Hope it helps.

Cheers, Vlad
