Is this module maintained?

[clarkie]

I know this is very subjective but I'm concerned that @ryanfitz hasn't made any movement on some of the PRs & issues for 4 months (ish). Some options:

1. Fork, patch and move on
2. Add some more maintainers to this repo + npm

I'm happy to volunteer to help although my experience using this module is about 3-4 weeks and very limited. I wondered if there would be any other offers of help?

This isn't a dig, whine, etc that is common place in the JS community these days but an observation and hopefully a start to give @ryanfitz some help looking after this. I'd like to see vogels move forward as it's by far the best abstraction over dynamodb I have come across.

[justinffs]

I would be willing to volunteer as well

[sylwit]

volunteer also

[clarkie]

Cool, that's 3 of us. How do we do this then? @ryanfitz - any suggestions?

[tony-gutierrez]

It looks like I am going to be using this library. Id also volunteer to work on it. @ryanfitz can we get your input on a strategy for moving forward?

[shaunbruno]

I am interested in using this lib as well - I'll hang tight for a bit for @ryanfitz to offer feedback ^

[tony-gutierrez]

This looks farther along? https://github.com/automategreen/dynamoose

[justinffs]

@tony-gutierrez Seems to be missing quite a bit No table.update https://github.com/automategreen/dynamoose/blob/master/lib/Table.js#L327 And it looks like there is only ability to add indexes when the table is created.

Also using Q which is Ok but using bluebird js would be better.

The documentation and examples also seem to be a bit less than what vogels has.

[tony-gutierrez]

True enough. Don't want to hijack this thread.

[allenhartwig]

I'm interested in seeing this project live on as well. Being that we are going on a month with no response from @ryanfitz on this issue should we start taking the fork approach?

[ruddiculous]

I haven't had any response since I updated https://github.com/ryanfitz/vogels/pull/141 back in Feb, FYI.

[jkeczan]

I would be willing to help as well as my company would like to use this as well....

[clarkie]

Right, I've probably set myself up for a whole world of pain but I've forked but not in a fork:

https://github.com/clarkie/dynogels https://www.npmjs.com/package/dynogels

I'm going to try and be as active over there as I possibly can but will definitely need some help so please chip in.

All credit will obviously still go to @ryanfitz for his efforts on getting vogels off the ground.

Thanks

[AaronHarris]

I sent a tweet to @ryanfitz, hopefully we will hear a response.

[marckaraujo]

Any news? This library seems to be the best one, dont let it die.

[ngocketit]

Still no reply from @ryanfitz ? Maybe he's retired already. We should support @clarkie for his clone and move it forward.

[marckaraujo]

Yes, @ngocketit . You should use https://github.com/clarkie/dynogels. Its very nice and up to date.

[servel333]

@clarkie This might be a good opportunity to create an organization and transfer the project to that in order to help better maintain it going forward.
