Is this project dead? Time to fork? …

[kierun]

A PR which fixes #73 and #74 still has not been merged after six months. This point to this project being dead.

Does anyone have the time to fork it and maintain it?

[safiyat]

I could. But will need the community support for it though, of course.

I would still prefer that @wolever revive this project. Maybe add some of us as a collaborator to the project?

@wolever has not bothered fixing a critical bug in this code for six months even though there is a PR fixing it. Now, there are good reasons why someone can be away from a project for that long. However, not hearing anything from them, it is hard to judge what those reasons are and what we can do to help.

We could set up a joint community to fork this… I know it is possible but have not done so.

@wolever is holding an AMA today.

Unfortunately I won't be able to join. Could you join and try to talk to him?

[kierun]

@safiyat No, I cannot make it. Besides, I have not been inflected by tweeter.

We should fork this and move on. We've reached out to @wolever many times with no response. He's active on twitter and apparently doesn't want to maintain this project.

Ahh, folks, I'm so sorry :( I have no excuse for the tardiness. Commenting on the PR now.

@adam820 I am pretty sure that it is.
