Hello All-

Is there anyone out there that wants to take over as maintainer of  
the backgroundrb project? I feel bad because I know lots of folks use  
it but I absolutely do not have time to work on it anymore :(.

I’m looking for a new maintainer, I would give you all the access to  
the project you need and try to help you come up to speed on the  
codebase.

If anyone is interested please let me know

Thanks

I’m not available right now (I’m working on stompserver right now which  
is more urgent for me), but I’ll need backgroundrb later for one of my  
projects so if nobody volunteers in the following months, eventually  
I’ll make sure backgroundrb is maintained.

Ezra,

Although I am a bit busy, but i would be interested in maintaining  
backgroundrb. I am already using it in couple of my projects and  
generally know my way around the backgroundrb code.

Hi Ezra,

Do you have something of a todo list on your mind? At Nedforce we use  
BackgrounDRb extensively and we would be happy to contribute patches  
when we can.

And thanks for your superb work so far, it’s been stellar.

Cheers!

Thanks guys. Brett R. has agreed to step up as well. Maybe you  
both can work together? His email is removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid and he  
has commit rights now. If you would like commit rights please sign up  
for an account at the trac and let me know what email address you  
used and I’ll give you commit.

Cheers-
