Looking for maintainer(s)

[causal-agent]

I haven't been actively using or developing this project for quite a while now and haven't had time to respond to new issues and PRs. I would like to find someone more qualified than me to continue maintenance and/or development of this project which seems to be quite popular. If anyone would like to help out, please comment here or send me an email.

I am interested in helping! I intend to use this for work-related things and would love to get involved keeping it alive.

This seems to be a promising library. Happy to help if needed.

[mxork]

happy to help if needed.

[mainrs]

Using this inside of my scraper framework so I would love to help out as well!

[spegoraro]

Count me in too

[causal-agent]

Thanks for the responses! In absence of any ideas on vetting or whatever, I'm going to just set branch protection and add collaborators.

Also a heads up, I think I'll be renaming my GitHub account soon, so an upcoming change in URL shouldn't be concerning.

[mainrs]

@causal-agent Is there a reason why the scraper.1 file has been uploaded to the repository? I have no clue what that file is and what its purpose is.

[causal-agent]

That is the manual page for the scraper bin utility.

[rtrevinnoc]

I can help too

I'd love to maintain/contribute - this library is great.

[cfvescovo]

This is an extremely useful library! Count me in!

[Boscop]

Did you find a maintainer? :)

[apkrieg]

I'm willing to take over the project.

[fernandosoto138]

@causal-agent Willing to help here. Supporting @apkrieg

[seanpianka]

Perhaps someone can start a Discord and invite everyone?

Since there is no response from CasualAgent, Is someone already started a fork (perhaps with a new name) to continue the development?

[cfvescovo]

I have created a fork of this repo named dissector. I am currently working on:

• renaming the project
• updating the dependencies
• switching the Rust language version to 2021
• publishing the crate on crates.io

After these steps I will start working on new features and overall improvements.

I am looking for contributors, if someone's willing to help write it here.

[causal-agent]

@cfvescovo if you're willing to do that work, I can give you commit access here and permission to publish the scraper crate (assuming I can figure out how). Sorry I haven't been paying attention to this. Without any development happening it's impossible to tell who needs access.

[cfvescovo]

@causal-agent Thank you! I will delete my fork and commit my changes to your repo.

[cfvescovo]

I think you can give other people publishing permissions on crates.io by using the command cargo owner. Docs: cargo reference - publishing crates

[causal-agent]

@cfvescovo I sent an owner invite through the crates.io interface

[cfvescovo]

Thank you. I have accepted your invite

Perhaps someone can start a Discord and invite everyone?

I have created a Gitter community for this repo. Link: Gitter - scraper-rs community
