Is this project still maintained?

[Devalo]

Looks like a good project... Would love to try it in a project if its still maintained.

[Preen]

They are working on a new version of exadmin! Its called Talon: https://github.com/talonframework/talon

https://github.com/smpallen99/ex_admin/issues/367

@Devalo @Preen Doesn't look like there is a whole lot of work going on there either. It's been 4 months since the last commit on that project, i tried loading up the demo but it seems not quite ready to succeed ExAdmin.

[Preen]

lets ask @smpallen99 if he's still actively maintaining it or not :)

[sublimecoder]

Agreed. If he is not or doesn't have time right now then maybe someone or a few of us can pick up the torch.

[techgaun]

yeah I am interested to help this (or talon) project if we can know what's the status and what direction we're heading in. I will try to dig existing documentations and issues to get more information but I am in to contribute from my side to revive this project.

[Preen]

We from Flewid would also like to help out as we use this in production envs. @mileandra @SmuRf1507

[sublimecoder]

Hopefully @smpallen99 hears this and can add a few contributors or switch ownership of the project. if not I will review the two projects talon and ex_admin and select one to fork and create a new project from it. Since there seems to be a fair amount of interest in keeping this alive.

@sublimecoder Please keep us in the loop, would be sad to see this go. :grinning:

[smpallen99]

@sublimecoder I hear you. I'll spend some time reviewing PRs today.

[sublimecoder]

Thanks @smpallen99 would you be open to have a few more maintainers on the project? Maybe taking the load off a bit? Or is Talon still going to be the main focus and we could pitch in there?

[Preen]

Yeah, there are lots of issues open that can be faster adressed if we are more people working on it.

[smpallen99]

I closed a bunch of PRs last week. Since then there has only been one new PR submitted which I just merged now.

Everyone is welcome to submit PRs, and I will do my best to get them merged in a timely manner.

What else does everyone think we can do to encourage people to contribute to the project?

If someone wants write privileges, let me know and I'll review their past contributions.

As for Talon, that is where I was hoping to invest my time. However, I have not had any time for open source due to a commercial project that I'm behind schedule on.

Thanks, Steve

Hello Steve, I would like to have write privileges to help reviewing submitted PRs.

[MartinElvar]

@prem-prakash Maybe the solutions could be, to make a fork - Steve seems to be a busy man for the time being :-)

[sublimecoder]

Just forked this project and going to start making updates to my own version of ex_admin. Just ran mix format, updated dependencies, and fix deprecation warnings. If anyone wants to submit pull requests, I am more than happy to look at them and get them merged in.

[happysalada]

@sublimecoder just so you know, master is not working properly with phoenix 1.3 If I remember well, the mix install task is not working and updates are not working on the admin interface.

[sublimecoder]

@happysalada Yep, I've seen those issues and going to work on some fixes. Trying to go through the pending PR's here and apply ones that make sense.

[fire]

@sublimecoder Is there a reason why issues on your fork is disabled? I don't want to spam this thread.

[sublimecoder]

@fire they are disabled by default. I just enabled them.
