Is this an abandoned project? #610
Comments

As far as I know, vitalets is working full-time and can only spend spare time to develop this project. Although I agree with you the forking should be maintained regularly so it goes further, the project is free anyways, I got nothing but grateful. |
|
Dont get me wrong - I'm grafeful - the package is amazing. But there should also be a clear direction for the package, as it is used by a large amount of people. So I just wanted to clarify which direction this is heading... |
|
I totally agree this is a great package and I was also asking me if it was still maintained. Which fork is the most active, should the author pass the baton ? |
|
Based on my quick scan of the Network graph, it doesn't look like there really is a 'most active' fork. They all seem to solve one or two problems and end in a PR against this repo. If anyone is particularly interested in trying to pick up the slack, I would see about sending @vitalets an email. Can't hurt to ask, right? |
|
I agree with you, there is planty of little fix but everybody on his own. You can try to reach @vitalets, but I think he won't answer as he get emails for issues we create on his project. I'm avaible to help centralizing the project, but I don't have time to take the lead |

Hi everyone, I'm very-very sorry for getting x-editable unsupported for such a long time. Anyway I would like to keep this project alive as there are many people who already using it and there are many amazing things that can be done. I would appreciate if someone would help. Not spending a lot of time on it (as everyone is busy with own tasks) but if possible just check pull requests and merge. I'll provide any help and full access to the repo. Just let me know via email noginsk@rambler.ru Thank you! |
|
Hi vitalets, thanks for responding. I am brand new to Angular, just writing my first app now, so I can't be of much help. But I'm sure others will step up, this is such a valuable project. Thanks! |
|
It is such great news that the project will be kept alive and supported. It's a really great project! |
|
Hi @vitalets. I would like to help you maintain this project. It is excellent work and I found it incredibly useful on a recent job. |
|
So have we found a maintainer for this project? Would love to see it supported! I'm willing to volunteer some time as well. |
|
I would like to help also. This project is awesome. |
|
Thanks @assisrafael! Added you as collaborator. |
|
Thank you. I'm looking at the PRs and issues right now. |
|
Any news ? |
|
Hey @nate-strauser, want to help maintain x-editable, since you've published the best Meteor wrapper for it? |
|
i'd be willing to help out with meteor specific integrations |
|
Checking the network graph, it looks like someone has taken the liberty of merging some useful PRs into the dev branch in their fork. This is the most "advanced" fork I have been able to find and I would strongly recommend we include him/her and some others as collaborators to keep this going. |
|
Really, did not find the new maintainer? |
|
I just came across this project and I am super impressed with the amount of work invested here! It's like the same projects was built for all these libraries and then a ton of t tests build and docs...this project should never die! I am about to use it on a Project Management application as it is simply PERFECT for that type of app, thanks for all the great work and I truly hope this project lives on for years to come! |
|
Did this project ever find a new maintainer? @geding @assisrafael ?? I am not a javascript programmer but have found a few bugs to help report. |
|
@vitalets you should provide a donation link or some sort of low-end licensing, ie. $20-40 a license or related. I think this is a very valuable project and one that I was hoping to integrate into my application, but if unsupported it greatly falls by the wayside. If money is an issue I am sure allot of people, myself included, would donate/purchase a license for comfort of continued support What are your thoughts group? |
|
TBH this project is important enough I would pay an annual fee for consistent updates. $50 to me makes sense. |
|
I would also pay to keep this going. I believe that applies to anyone capable of taking on the task really! If I was good enough in JavaScript, I could sell support for helping people with this library, just the way people sell there service to help with WordPress, Magento, SugarCRM, etc... Of course the author of this project knows it best. However on the Readme he has posted this notice...
I would love to pay someone to keep things updated and going though |
|
@kingharrison @kjakah08 @tonglil @chall8908 @dandv and all others...I have made a quick blog post highlighting some of the features of X-Editable and requesting for someone (JavaScript Expert) to step up to the plate and help update/maintain this project. There has been no updates to code in over 2 years according to this repos last update date. There was a recent update of the Readme to add in that the project is abandoned but actual code update is 2 years now which is sad. There are thousands of people using this project and I do not want to site on the sideline and watch it die. There really is no other competitor library that is even half as good so for that reason alone it should live on! Please share my article on your social media to help get the word out http://www.codedevelopr.com/articles/community-looking-for-expert-javascript-developer-to-update-x-editable-jquery-library-project/ also if you would like to add or chamnge the content of my article, I am all ears. I just want to get this project going again. Majority of the recent issues are posted about Select2 support and I personally am having all sorts of nightmare with X-Editable and Select2 so I would love to get that working properly again too. As some have mentioned, they would be willing to pay some money to keep this project going. I agree with that and I am certain that hundreds of others would contribute if they knew they could. So hopefully the right person or persons (people) will see our plea to get this going again. To start helping now, I think spreading this article is the first step in finding the right people to help with our project. Thanks and feel free to give your input. |
|
I'm already overloaded with side projects of my own but I'm supporting this, tweeted your article. |
|
@lorvent any news? Is it fair to say this project is maintained again? |
|
I can say its maintained but currently i am not adding anything to it, once i get good grip on it, i can make updates. and, we are open for PRs if anyone want to make it better |
|
cheers, thanks for the update. |
|
I just noticed that this project seems to be unmaintained, so I took the liberty of forking it & will continue development here: https://github.com/x-editable/x-editable Pull Requests & Collaborators welcome! |
|
@MarQuisKnox That great! |
|
That is a better idea.

Also I can make your admin of this repo to have single place of
development and not confuse people.

Thanks, @vitalets! If I have Admin rights, then we can later redirect this repo to the current one. Looking forward to it. Thanks! |
|
@vitalets: I joined the project, but I don't have rights to transfer it: https://help.github.com/articles/transferring-a-repository-owned-by-your-personal-account Do you want to transfer or leave it here for historical purposes? |
|
IMHO you do some progress first then you can think of moving to that new location. moving to a new location doesn't serve any purpose if we are not adding anything new. |
|
agree with @lorvent. |
|
Well, the code already is in thousands of other locations. Check the fork stats. I will close this ticket, as this project is not abandoned or unmaintained as of now. |
|
Hi @MarQuisKnox ! Are you still have time for maintaining x-editable? |
|
I can also help to maintain it - we actively using x-editable in our warehouse management system but didn't make any PR here for a long time. |
|
@tasselchof It would be very helpful! |
|
@vitalets: Unfortunately, due to work commitments I no longer have time to support this project. Thanks. |
|
@MarQuisKnox ok. Anyway thanks for all your support! |
|
@MarQuisKnox If you are no longer going to support and maintain this project, have you considered giving it to someone else who will? There are even people commenting here saying they would help. There are currently 36 pull requests (some of them 2 years old) and people who seem to be trying to help, it only makes sense to let people help and not completely abandon a plugin many people use. Better to let the plugin live on instead of turning into something people will fork and bastardize. Just my two cents. You might also want to note that this is not actively being worked on as you say it is in the README. |
|
Any updates on this? Feels like such a shame to abandon a project that is being used this much. I couldn't find any similar projects to use either :( |
If anyone wants to step up as a maintainer all they need to do is fork it and start applying relevant pull requests then mention here that there is a "new shiny" fork somewhere else. That's the beauty of open source. Being a maintainer is a big undertaking however, and not many people are cut out for it. I don't have the time nor experience to do it myself either. Even though I love the project itself. |
|
@vitalets You maybe should to pin this issue (or add a more explicit message in the README) to more easily find maintainers. |
|
@vitalets let's be real here, this project have 6k+ stars and 500 issues open. Just starting a new fork and starting from scratch won't work. That said, would you be willing to move this project into an Organization so at least it could keep its history and have a more maintained repo? Next we need to find 2-3 maintainers, clean up the issues, and merge some PRs. |
and others
Hi,
Is this an abandoned project? There have been no updates for 6 months, including no github activity from @vitalets for any project?
Is there a "fork" that is being actively maintained?
