Future maintenance inquiry

[edmondburnett]

Hello,

Just wondering if you are still interested in maintaining this library? I am using it in a production app, and thus have a vested interest in supporting it and keeping it up to date for the foreseeable future. I could of course just continue to work off of my own fork, but figured the community might benefit from any ongoing updates and improvements as well.

Please let me know if you would consider handing it over. I suppose that involves linking to my fork, and requesting a transfer of ownership for the pypi package, which I believe is done by submitting a request here. My pypi username is eburnett. Credit of course will go to you in the docs.

Cheers,
Ed

Hey there. I'm no longer working in that space so I'm quite happy to hand
it over. Will you agree to continue the MIT license? That was an agreement
I had with Ivo a while back.

The MIT license is fine with me.

I'm also working on a Twitter API library which I intend to release under the same license, so this project will be a natural complement.

Thanks!

In that case - did you want to fork and state that you're the maintainer,
give me the URL and I can update my version to state that yours is the one
to use - that's probably easiest?

Okay, here is my fork: https://github.com/edburnett/twitter-text-python

Also will need to change the owner of the package in pypi, so I can update it on there. There should be an option for this in the package control panel. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/twitter-text-python/

Thanks!

My pypi username: eburnett

I've set you as 'maintain'er on pypi - if you can confirm that you've got
that then I'll switch you to Owner and see if I can remove myself.

For the github project in the README I've made a blatant heading directing
people to your account, let me know if you think other edits are useful?

I verified that I do indeed have maintainer access now, thanks.

Your edit looks fine to me. You could maybe remove the rest of the documentation in the README, or split it off into another file just so there's no accident that it's not the current version.

[edmondburnett]

I went ahead and updated the links on the pypi page to point to the new fork.

[ianozsvald]

ag, I just had to delete you as Maintainer to make you Owner. Can you
confirm you're now Owner? If so, I'll delete admin rights and you can take
over :-)

Hope that didn't disrupt your pypi page, whatever you did might have been
deleted whilst I switched your ownership? I didn't realise Ownership wasn't
just for one user (else I'd have done that before in the first pass), I've
never managed ownership of packages before.

Looks like it worked! Now it's listing both you and me as owners.

[ianozsvald]

Ok, you're now the sole owner, cheers, Ian.

Great, thanks Ian! Looks like we're all set.
