To all users of the library: help wanted for maintenance of the project!

Open smattheis opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

To all users of the library, First of all, I'm sorry for the lack of maintenance of the project and not merging pull requests. I'm maintaining the library for some time now and was not able to do that recently. Not meant as an excuse but to get a bit of understanding: The maintenance is done in my spare free-time and I don't have the capacity at the moment not only because I'm on a longer trip for 2 months now but also because I'm working on my PhD project in general. Therefore, please respond to this issue if it is relevant to you that the library is maintained and pull requests are merged. I would be happy to find one or two experienced developers to maintain this library and would try manage and clarify the respective access right to repository with BMW Car IT GmbH to make that possible. (Note, although the software is Open Source the administration of repository is owned by the company, not by me.) Please see this as an opportunity to discuss the maintenance. Also feel free to contact me via email if you feel more convenient that way. I still do have plans to continue working on the project to build a scalable, elastic, robust, and on-line updatable online map matching solution for the future. I have some concepts but it needs time and resources and I would be happy to find enthusiasts to create and develop future solutions. Regards, Sebastian

I'd be happy to help to get pull requests merged - reviews, add tests, etc.

Thanks for your response! I'm really happy about your dedication. I think it's important to check out the possibilities, goals and resources and I suggest to have a little phone or Skype conversation soon. If it's okay for you, best would be if you could send me an email such that we can arrange that.
