Oh, and of course, for all those "panicking" -- you are, of course, contributing in some way to CCK?
yes. a few months ago i had a burst of interest in CCK, and dove in to start making it better. i submitted a modest # of patches to the issue queue. at the time, i asked JonBob if he'd be willing to grant me commit access so i could get my fixes in and help review other patches, and he graciously declined my offer. ;) most of my patches are still languishing there, uncommitted. :(
If JonBob doesn't have the time to be the one gateway through which all development passes, I suggest speaking with him about nominating a second maintainer.
+1. i'm in gerhard's situation. i have a huge new project on the horizon that i was planning to rely on CCK for. given the time frame, it'll probably have to be 4.7, not waiting until 4.8/5.0. if i have to maintain my own working version of CCK just for this, that'd be a huge pain in the ass and a real shame for everyone.
if killes and me are both poised to abandon the (otherwise obvious) choice of using CCK for these new projects, something is clearly wrong. sadly, both of us are awfully busy ;) so i don't think either of us are in a position to be a full-time 4.7 CCK maintainer. but, i'm pretty sure we could help out if given the chance. ;)
This is exactly the kind of thing that prompted my initial e-mail. I just poked JonBob with an e-mail about this thread. Hopefully, we'll hear something straight from the horse's mouth soon. Ray
