Hello, everyone! In his yesterday's post http://www.ianbicking.org/blog/2014/02/saying-goodbye-to-python.html Ian Bicking mentioned me as the person who saved him from the burden of maintaining SQLObject. Thank you, Ian! It was an interesting experience (and an urgent business need at that time). Unfortunately now is the worst time to praise me for working on SQLObject. As everyone can see I wasn't very active the last year(s) and this year the work stopped completely. I must apologize and explain myself. I failed to build an active community. I am sorry. My communication skills are perhaps not so good. And I certainly lack community-building skills. Currently I am involved in three big projects, only one of them uses SQLObject. I am tired and seldom have power to do anything besides my work. Even worse, said project doesn't generate enough revenue and my bosses decided to cut it in a month or two. After that I will have even less incentive to work on SQLObject. I am very very sorry. It would be best for SQLObject and the community if someone takes over the project and revives it. If you'd like, please step up. Or, if nobody wants to take the lead, I can continue working as the integrator. Please send your patches (SourceForge tracker, mail list, private mail directly to me), I'll test them, apply them and will release new versions. I can help converting the repository to Mercurial or git (I prefer git) if there are developers who are interested in working with a distributed VCS. But without your work, dear developers, SQLObject is doomed. Oleg. -- Oleg Broytman http://phdru.name/ ph...@ph... Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN. |
