Closed Graham-72 closed 7 years ago
I have made a pull request https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/colorbox/pull/5 to fix this.
This just crashed my site when I was trying to install the module. @Graham-72 as it appears there is no maintainer, what's the process for getting this merged?
@laryn I'm sorry to hear of the problem. I am a user of Colorbox and feel it would be worthwhile dealing with any outstanding issues.
@biolithic would you be happy for me to do a bit of maintenance and produce a new release?
@laryn @Graham-72 the process for abandoned projects is documented here: https://github.com/backdrop-ops/contrib#abandoned-projects
@jenlampton what about that "contrib squad" that we were talking about taking action? I mean:
...and in this specific case, we clearly have 3 people involved in this issue that are already active (and may I add trustworthy) members of the backdrop-contrib group.
The bottom line is that none of us might ever want to adopt this specific abandoned project, but we have a simple, obvious fix that is RTBC'ed. I think we should merge and create a new release.

Well, it doesn't exist yet, so we can't use it yet. I think it's a good idea and we should start moving that way, but it doesn't apply here... since it doesn't exist :)

So in this specific case one of them (I'm happy to do it if no one else is) should adopt the project, merge the fix, and create a new release.

If that's the case, then we use the project as-is, apply the RTBC's patch, and carry on. Just as we would with any other open source project that doesn't have a bug squad.
I'm happy to do it if no one else is
Yes please 😄

Fair enough. Was just pointing the fact that this is a simple fix that solves a major issue (installing the project without having the entire site go bananas), which affects all users of the current official release of the project. But fair enough.
Yes please 😄
okiedokie, I've created the first issue: https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/colorbox/issues/11 Two weeks from now, if he hasn't replied, I can create an issue in the contrib queue to take over the project!

I agree with all those things. I just think we should follow our own rules. If you want to start work on a bug squad (to change those rules) this is a great issue to use as an example.

Okay 👿
