Project still alive? #278

Closed darkdragon-001 closed 1 year ago

darkdragon-001 commented 1 year ago

There hasn't been any commits in the past year and there are many open unmerged pull requests. Is this project still maintained?

DrackThor commented 1 year ago

Wondering the same - is there any official statement from the main contributors?

davidandreoletti commented 1 year ago

@bw2 Is this project in maintenance mode only now ?

colonelpanic8 commented 1 year ago

Seems like @bw2 is no longer around. Perhaps a fork should be considered so that work on the project can continue. Seems that there are many willing contributors.

I very rarely have time to revisit this repo, but have been updating it every 1 or 2 years. If people are willing to help with more frequent maintenance, please post here. I'm looking for someone with a minimalist approach - primarily interested in fixing critical issues, implementing relatively simple but widely-useful feature requests, and updating the library to work with the latest version of python. At the same time, it will be important to avoid new excessively complicated features that are only useful for a very small number of users. If you agree to this approach and have the right coding skills, I would appreciate having you as a co-maintainer, similar to ronhanson who was able to help for several years.

@bw2 I'm happy to help out.

Thanks @IvanMalison ! Can you say more about your interest in this project? Do you see any specific tasks worth addressing now, or is this an offer for future help?
