Still alive? #90

Closed DamienCassou closed 5 years ago

DamienCassou commented 6 years ago

I'm a package author and I would like to know if I can rely on emacs-request. I have the impression this package is not maintained anymore: PRs and issues are not even discussed and the latest commit is more than 1 year old.

alphapapa commented 6 years ago

It seems not. This is concerning to me, as this seems like the most widely used, featureful HTTP library for Emacs.

Well, maybe it's time to fork this project and give it a second life..? Similar thing already happened with tkf/emacs-ipython-notebook, which is now actively maintained via millejoh/emacs-ipython-notebook.

alphapapa commented 6 years ago

@xor-xor Indeed, however it's a large, complex package, and it's a lot to ask one person to do. I'd be willing to help maintain it as a team, but I don't feel like I could commit to do it alone.

[...] I don't feel like I could commit to do it alone.

Yeah... Same with me. With such projects, I can occasionally fix some bug or something, but I'm quite limited with time and my Elisp-Fu is not that great.

I'm not really competent to maintain this package myself but I would be willing to incorporate fixes that have already been proposed into a new version. It would still move quite slowly I think but wt least some of the bugs we know about could be fixed.

tkf commented 5 years ago

Sorry guys for a very long silence. I gave committer access to @titaniumbones.

titaniumbones commented 5 years ago

@alphapapa @DamienCassou I'm hoping you can help me a bit with fixes that you need in order to support your own packages. This package is a little bit above my skill level!

alphapapa commented 5 years ago

@titaniumbones I'll try to help when and how I can. Let me know when and where I might be able to help you. Thanks for stepping up.

titaniumbones commented 5 years ago

I'm going to close this but will still hope for help from folks here!
