Dear CPAN admins,
I would like to start the standard procedure of getting a co-maint status on
http://metacpan.org/module/Text::MediawikiFormat . The module has some active
bugs on
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Text-MediawikiFormat , which
haven't been addressed and there hasn't been a CPAN release from the author
since 2008 (
http://search.cpan.org/~dprice/ ) - over three years ago. I tried to reach the
author on de...@ximbiot.com on 6-November-2011 (over a week ago) and did not
get an answer. I'm now trying with his company's contact information address (
i...@ximbiot.com ).
Once I get co-maint, I'd like to work the closing the open bugs, add an option
to create more valid and semantic XHTML 1.1, and document the way in which the
module can be used to generate XML and DocBook/XML. And naturally, I will
continue to maintain the module into the future, for everyone's benefit
(including my own, because I need to use it).
Regards,
Shlomi Fish
