#120 Package takeover
Since the current maintainers seem to be unresponsive, some of us are considering finding a new home for wxHaskell. See https://github.com/wxHaskell/wxHaskell/pull/40#issuecomment-1607861034.
This is a final attempt to reach out and see if anyone is monitoring this tracker.
If you provide me with your account names, I will try to give you access to the necessary resources:
https://github.com/wxHaskell
https://wiki.haskell.org/WxHaskell
https://sourceforge.net/p/wxhaskell/_list/tickets
Anyone with an account for wiki.haskell.org can edit the wxHaskell pages there; if you don't have such an account, I can create one for you; just tell me the account name you want.
Regards,
Henk-Jan van Tuyl

Thanks! For GitHub, it's the main contributors to the linked thread, which are georgefst, fgaz, and pranaysashank. Also, are you willing to add us as Hackage maintainers? I'm GeorgeThomas, and I believe the other two have the same usernames as on GitHub.
Do you have any interest in continuing to be involved? I'm sure we'd find it very useful to have at least one more experienced wxHaskell maintainer hanging around.
I'm not quite sure what we'll want to do with the other resources. I think it might be easiest to shut down the SourceForge tracker in favour of GitHub. As for the wiki pages, I'll have to have a think. Unfortunately a lot of the pages on the Haskell wiki in general are pretty out of date these days, with no one really maintaining them, and the trend being towards in-repo documentation.
I got the github invitation, thanks! I didn't get access to sourceforge though.
I think we can keep everything as is for now, it still works fine and the priority is making a release.
If we do want to move, I'm partial to open platforms such as gitlab.haskell.org, codeberg, or sr.ht. I think it doesn't make sense to get locked in a second time. We'll also need sourceforge access to export the tickets.
I think the wiki is ok, and it's also owned by haskell.org which is good. We'll just have to update it. I wouldn't oppose moving to in-repo docs though.

@hjvt We're now working on this at Zurihac and would love to get an up-to-date version of wxHaskell on to Hackage. Would it be possible to add us as maintainers?
I have added user accounts fgaz and GeorgeThomas on Hackage as maintainers for the wxHaskell-related packages GeBoP, arghwxhaskell, wx, wxAsteroids, wxFruit, wxc, wxcore, wxdirect
Thank you!
