Hi Randy, hi Geoff,
Randy, since Geoff apparently has been away from Perl/CPAN for quite
some time, I've made you co-maintainer of Text::VimColor.
Geoff, if you object, please note that this is entirely reversible.
Best regards,
Steffen

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>:
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.

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
