Maintainer Needed?
What's the state of maintenance for Chatterbot? It seems a number of important things are unresolved without comment, and there's been only a single doc fixing commit this year.
It can often be quite reasonable to find new maintainers for projects by reaching out to PR contributors and fork owners. There are also some looking-for-maintainer hubs out there that try to bring people in.
@gunthercox are you still on this project or do you need help? Is anyone available to step in?
I would love to step in. I actually just started finding and trying to resolve issues.
- pytz is supposed to be checked and installed before running. Though that is not the case. The program will still attempt to run without it. Evidence: requirements.txt /root/
- In compat.py, time.clock is being used even though it may not be supported. Fix: change line 263 and 265 to try: and except:
supporting python>=3.8 and so on are the other things that should be supported
Anybody with a fork, feel free to mention it here as a place we could consider continuing this project. Anyone able to find and reach out to gunthercox, this would also be great.
I do have a fork, but as there are a lot of pull requests are here (34), I dont think it makes sence to have another fork beside it.
The pull requests could of course be reopened in a new fork by interested parties.
I don't think that @gunthercox wants to maintain this project. if thats the case, I would like to continue it.
