Is this project abandoned?

[SethTisue]

Are new maintainers sought?

Regardless of what the situation is, it would be good if the README were frank about it.

In case this is alive:

Since it's published under org.scala-lang.modules, it would make sense to use the sbt-scala-modules sbt plugin and the mechanism for tag-driven releases, like for example in https://github.com/scala/scala-parallel-collections/tree/master/admin. If someone is interested, I can help.

Since it's published under org.scala-lang.modules

(We should change that, actually...)

[dwijnand]

To?

[SethTisue]

ch.epfl.scala perhaps

[heathermiller]

Let's not change package names unnecessarily.

[SethTisue]

Let's not change package names unnecessarily

at the moment we're only talking about changing the organization under which the module is published, not package names in the code

[heathermiller]

Sorry, writing from my phone while on honeymoon. Let's not change organization names/break build files. Same logic applies

[SethTisue]

nothing will change while you're off on your trip, I promise :-)

[kamilkloch]

Any news? :)

[rrwright]

Any update? There are so many open issues with no new replies, and long-standing goals for what is now at some level remedial support (e.g.: https://github.com/scala/pickling/pull/451), that I worry this project is in fact abandoned. —but I sure hope not! Any news? Thanks!

[jsuereth]

@rrwright I can help you get your code submitted into the project, but I just don't have time to do the 2.11->2.12 transition. My fear is that the loss of whitebox macros means this project needs to pull a phoenix and be brought back as a different beast entirely.

[rrwright]

Thanks @jsuereth . That sounds pretty conclusive on the demise of this project. :-/

[SethTisue]

@heathermiller any objection to simply using GitHub's "archive" feature on this repo...?

[SethTisue]

I am archiving the repo now.
