Hello, I (DBOOK) am interested in adopting ZEFRAM's DateTime related modules, which are not depended on much by CPAN and have no outstanding issues (other than Data::Pond), but which I depend on for work code.
I primarily directly use DateTime::TimeZone::Olson, which depends on these other modules for its functionality and which I am also prepared to maintain: DateTime::TimeZone::Tzfile, DateTime::TimeZone::SystemV, and Time::OlsonTZ::Data. Additionally, Time::OlsonTZ::Download and Data::Pond are used for the Time::OlsonTZ::Data prebuild process, and I would like to adopt these as well, primarily to fix an outstanding issue in Data::Pond that prevents it from building on recent versions of perl, and to ensure Time::OlsonTZ::Data releases can continue unimpeded with updates to the Olson timezone database. I don't feel particularly qualified to maintain Data::Pond as it is an XS module, but I will seek assistance from more experienced parties as needed. Finally, I would like to adopt App::olson which is the primary user of all of these modules on CPAN, in the off chance that it requires future maintenance. I do not have any current plans to make new releases of these modules other than to fix the Data::Pond issue and update Time::OlsonTZ::Data when it is next required. I will also note that Time::OlsonTZ::Data appears to have an automatic release process when the Olson timezone database updates, and I do not know whether it will continue to attempt making releases. -Dan (DBOOK)
