No activity?
Looks like this plugin is dead in the water?
Anyone know if someone else has forked it to an active repo, or if there is a new post-2-post plugin?
Well I posted issues over a week ago, without any answer.
There are pull requests that are long overdue.
Authors website hasn't been updated in a year, and this plugin is also about a year old without updates.
Yes, it may be stable, but its not complete...
That shortly shows that there are more people willing to ask questions, rather than those who willing to answer them... means, a standard situation :)
On the plugin page at: https://wordpress.org/plugins/posts-to-posts/ it says "I, scribu, will not be offering support (either free or paid) for this plugin anymore. If you want to help maintain the plugin, fork it on github and open pull requests."
Yeah, I found that even reviewing pull requests is a lot of work.
I updated the README: d2f297dbe257a09438da6ffe22c9a876acb7b49b
Thanks, @danielbachhuber, but I've heard that line several times before, from several different people, and nothing happened.
If someone is truly interested, they'll just fork it, merge any interesting pull requests and go from there.

Sounds good. I might actually start with a rename, actually.
@danielbachhuber can you keep us posted if this happens? would be really excited to see this plugin become active again, and don't want to miss your fork...
+1 on a takeover! This plugin is extremely useful/powerful and I'm thankful for the years of work Scribu has into it. There is currently no equal alternative so I'd hate to see it die.
I'm a happy (but scared) user of the plugin, a mediocre (backend) dev, so I don't have the skill set required to takeover.
3 cheers for Daniel forking and resurrecting!
@danielbachhuber If you want to start it as an organization, happy to lend a hand as well.
@danielbachhuber @aaronjorbin I'd be happy to contribute as well. Can't say I'll have much time for it but it's important to me that this stays alive.
@danielbachhuber +1, happy to pay, happy to help, let us know what you need, we use this extensively on a magazine site.
posts-to-posts and CMB2 are my go-to libraries when building nearly any site.
@scribu Thanks for putting in so much effort across such a large body of work over so many years. I know you're on to different things that are hopefully very meaningful to you, and I continue to wish you the best with that. Nevertheless, your contributions are sorely missed and I continue to look forward to your celebrated return :)
Has anyone used https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-connector/? A fork, perhaps?
No experience with Post Connector, but it also hasn't seen many updates. Not a fork of Posts 2 Posts AFAIK.
Barry is a great dev, but the plugin is much different. It uses CPT's with post_meta for the connections. It also doesn't allow user connections. It's just too different to be considered a replacement. For smaller sites it's probably cool, similar to ACF (and similar plugins) relationship or post object field types.
Is this guy up for adoption? I'm sure this question has been raised previously.

Automattic should take over and add it to core.
@danielbachhuber maybe another kickstarter campaign?
@danielbachhuber Would love to get this fork started. I'm thinking about adding multisite support (being able to connect posts between sites, not just inside one site) and adding better rights management for this plugin. Would love your thoughts about that.
Whatever happened here? @danielbachhuber did you end up taking over? Is this plugin still stable to use with the latest version of WP?
The plugin is still stable to use with the latest version of WordPress.
As suggested in the readme:
If you want to fix a bug in the plugin or add new features, feel free to fork it on github. I will not be accepting any pull requests though, since ensuring that a code change doesn't break things takes effort, effort which I'm no longer willing to expend.
There's https://github.com/wp-posts-to-posts/wp-posts-to-posts with a bunch of people in that organization already.
We should probably just start submitting pull requests there for whatever bugs we encounter and features we like
