Hello to org-mode mailing list subscribers & people CC'd in this email,
I'm not interested in maintaining org-sync anymore. I've tried to continue but it just doesn't interest me anymore, I can't find the motivation and I rarely use bugtrackers. I think there are too many design issues with org-sync. I personally think org-mode is not restrictive enough as a format and UI to work (at large scale) with bugtrackers. I should have made this email a long time ago. Anyway it seems many people are interested in org-sync so I'll make a list of the people who contacted me over the years (cc'd) so that you can try to work something out, maybe. Conor Nash <nas...@tcd.ie> added basic support for Asana and has contacted me to merge it. I was going to handle it and promptly forgot about it instead. This was a bit more than 2 year ago. Albert Krewinkel <krewin...@moltkeplatz.de> made some modifications and wanted some feedback but he never sent anything after I told him org-sync was doomed. This was 2 year ago too. Bastien <b...@gnu.org> tried to motivate me to continue and asked me to try to write about the problems I've faced so that people could focus on them, etc. I agree that would be great but I've completely lost interest in it and don't remember what was bothering me specifically... I just think org is too general and free-formed to be robust and practical for bugtrackers. S V N Vishwanathan <vi...@stat.purdue.edu> contacted me 2 years ago about a google task backend he started and some problem he had. He got pretty far and had to hack a bit the org-sync API to get it to work. I told him I'll look at it some more to see it if there was a cleaner way to implement it but I never got around to it. David Beswick <dlbesw...@gmail.com> sent a small patch to fix something in the redmine backend. I think Daimrod <daim...@gmail.com> worked on it and has a github repo [1]. I've found an email on the org-mode mailing list from him saying he was interested with having write access on the official repo. Not much news since then. Arthur Leonard Andersen <art...@beloved-king.org> (author of elmine) contacted me last year about improving the redmine backend. Joseph Kiniry <kin...@galois.com> contacted me last year about the redmine backend, he also wanted to maintain org-sync as his company could "sponsor" it. Not much since then. And finally, Andrei Beliankou <belia...@uni-trier.de> has recently made a github repo and has worked on it. It looks like the more advanced fork out there so you should probably go there now. I might have forgotten about other people... Also, things to do/keep in mind: - the page/docs have to be updated. It's not even accessible from the org-mode website anymore it seems. - someone has to contact the person in charge of the official git repo rights in order to pass the flame to someone else. Or just add people I don't know. Or just switch everything to github. Cheers! 1: https://github.com/daimrod/org-sync 2: https://github.com/arbox/org-sync
