Forks welcome - READ THIS

When I wrote grunt-update-json, I wanted a very simple way to keep a few files in sync. I'm very happy that it turned out to be useful for other folks as well and that it has received valuable contributions, especially from @bollwyvl.

There are two things I want to address about the current status of grunt-update-json:

1. many special cases that I did not consider
2. lack of time on my part

Both are important to me because 1) special cases very often are outside the initial scope of having a very simple solution and 2) my focus is on other projects.

Alternatives for very simple cases

• only package.json -> bower.json: grunt-sync-pkg

Alternatives for complex cases

Again, grunt-update-json was meant to be very simple. What I do myself in more complex cases is to use one of the many wonderful template engines out there, such as handlebars. Or really just write a function that does what I need.

/not my business (also I do not want to get this "award"), but/ do you consider passing this plugin to someone who wants to maintain it?

[AndreasPizsa]

Thanks for asking, @ZuBB - I am open to adding maintainers and eventually pass it on entirely.
