The reconnect pull request seems to be extremely useful to several people. Just wondering what the status of stomp-js is.

I'm not sure why I'm not getting github notifications from a few of my repos, but I'm going to look into that.

I'm glad you brought this up. I was just trying to figure out how I can hand this off to someone else. I simply don't have the interest, or the time to maintain this project. It was initially an exercise to play with node several years ago. I had implemented the protocol in python before, and the protocol is so simple, it made sense to me at the time. I personally do not like the code, and couldn't commit to any long term goals as a result. I don't want to be a burden on this project anymore, so if you or anyone else that might read this would like to take over this, and the rewrite I started over at https://github.com/benjaminws/stomp-js-new, that would be wonderful.

I'm a bad open source citizen :(

Let me know and I'll gladly transfer the repos to someone who can love and care for them.

Actually, @dkhunt27 has some pretty hefty refactoring going on in #28 and #31

I'm going to give them the commit bit.

If you'd like to hit me up on irc to chat about this, I'm on freenode, same name.

I've added @victor73 and @dkhunt27 as collaborators. If you'd like to chat about the bad decisions I made in this code, /msg me on irc.

I think you're being a little harsh on yourself. This tool has been very useful to lots of folks out there, so the fact that you created it was an immense help. I will defer to @dkhunt27 if he would like to take on the stewardship of the project. Thanks very much Benjamin!
