I'm interested in maintaining Text::VimColor. I have a development tree on github that includes patches for 4 of the 5 the cpan rt tickets (2 of which are mine): https://github.com/rwstauner/Text-VimColor/tree/devel
I emailed Geoff a few months ago (See below) and never received a response. I asked in IRC (#perl at freenode) and it sounded like 2 guys (one being "apeiron", I think) knew him once but hadn't seen him in a while. I posted on blogs.perl.org: http://blogs.perl.org/users/randy_stauner/2011/07/maintenance-on-textvimcolor-by-geoff-richards-geoffr.html but didn't get any responses except for @ykorshak linking to the post on twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/ykorshak/status/92172931278446592 Is there anything else I should do? Thank you very much. - Randy ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Randy Stauner <rwstau...@cpan.org> Date: Sun, Apr 17, 2011 at 11:05 PM Subject: Text::VimColor maintenance (perl/CPAN) To: q...@laxan.com, ge...@laxan.com, geo...@cpan.org Hi Geoff, I found Text::VimColor on CPAN (http://search.cpan.org/dist/Text-VimColor/) and realized that it was something I had been thinking about for a while. I was surprised that the included script (text-vimcolor) didn't have a terminal output format. I whipped up a vimcat script that does it in about 4 lines of code (plus a few extra lines for a hash translation and some use statements). I could release a separate App::vimcat dist, but it seems like a terminal output format would be a good addition to the main module. However when I saw that it was last updated in 2006 and the bugs on RT were years old as well, I thought perhaps email was the best chance to reach you. Would you accept a patch for adding Term::ASNIColor output as a Text::VimColor option? I see that you haven't released on CPAN in many years... If you're no longer interested in maintaining it would you be willing to make me a co-maintainer so I may release a new version? I would be willing to work on the current bugs on CPAN RT as well. Or would you prefer that I release something separate? Thank you very much for your time (and your work on Text::VimColor). - Randy
