Hi Dries I would like to take over Flash Gallery. My strategy would be to maintain Flash Gallery 4.7 and then integrate into SWF Tools for 5. SWF Tools is here: http://drupal.org/project/swftools The goal of SWF Tools is to centralize Flash related modules, so taking of Flash Gallery would be *perfect*. The benefits of SWF Tools are: -- ships with GPL Flash Players -- ships with GPL Flash replacement javascript. Regards Simon (sime) Knapen Dries wrote:
Dear list,
It has taken some time before I was able to admit it to myself, but due to some extensive changes in my academic career I no longer have time to actively and responsibly maintain the modules I created. To be honest, I even didn't get to thoroughly study the changes in Drupal 5 from a developer's perspective, so I don't see myself upgrade these modules any time soon.
I prioritized my Drupal and other activities, and I have decided that in the foreseeable future I will only continue to contribute to the Drupal project as the treasurer of the Drupal Association, and no longer as a module developer, since I believe that the Association is currently more important to support Drupal and help the project grow.
Therefore, the following modules need new maintainers:
Flash Gallery http://drupal.org/project/flash_gallery Graphstat http://drupal.org/node/33946 Inactive User http://drupal.org/node/10435 Simplenews http://drupal.org/project/simplenews
As for Simplenews (critical for drupal.org), RobRoy (http:// drupal.org/user/22975) already has cvs access, and released a working 5.x version of the module. Furthermore, Sutharsan (http://drupal.org/ user/73854) provided a lot of great patches for simplenews lately. I'll forward this e-mail to him in case he doesn't read this list.
I will unsubscribe from most public Drupal mailing lists soon, you can contact me in private through http://drupal.org/user/17892/ for cvs access and/or module ownership. Drupal.org site administrators are also free to perform these actions. I'd only like my name to be mentioned as the original author on the project page and README.txt of Flash Gallery, Graphstat and Simplenews.
cheers, Dries Knapen
