<div dir="ltr"><div class="markdown-here-wrapper" style=""><p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">Hi all,</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">The short version is: I’ve been battling RSI in my fingers for some years. I’m doing various things to mitigate that problem, but I have very limited finger bandwidth these days; enough to work at my usual pace at my job, but not much in the evenings and weekends, and so I can’t manage to do much on my hobby projects. I’m also not as motivated these days to work on my set of open source projects, and am turning my attention to different things. It’s not great, but that’s life.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">I don’t think that the users of my packages are getting the best maintainership deal. Rather than be “the absentee maintainer”, I’d prefer a straight-forward transition of maintainership or ownership to someone who can put the right energy and time in.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">In terms of packages, there are really two that have a significant maintenance burden and users aren’t being served very well:</p>
<ul style="margin:1.2em 0px;padding-left:2em">
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px"><a href="https://github.com/chrisdone/hindent">HIndent</a> has a significant amount of issues opened for it regularly, and many of them require discussion and debate. If someone would like to become a co-maintainer, let me know. It may (eventually) make sense to move it to a more general GitHub organization like <code style="font-size:0.85em;font-family:Consolas,Inconsolata,Courier,monospace;margin:0px 0.15em;padding:0px 0.3em;white-space:pre-wrap;border:1px solid rgb(234,234,234);background-color:rgb(248,248,248);border-radius:3px;display:inline">commercialhaskell</code> or <code style="font-size:0.85em;font-family:Consolas,Inconsolata,Courier,monospace;margin:0px 0.15em;padding:0px 0.3em;white-space:pre-wrap;border:1px solid rgb(234,234,234);background-color:rgb(248,248,248);border-radius:3px;display:inline">haskell</code>.</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px"><a href="https://github.com/commercialhaskell/intero/issues">Intero</a>, which seems to have been a success, has a pretty big maintenance burden on “this doesn’t work” kind of issues which require investigation. There’s some Emacs Lisp work to do on it, and some Haskell work on the intero binary, and a whole lot of platform-specific problems or tooling not working together. On the other hand people really like this project, and there’s a lot of tooling potential.</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">If you want to take <a href="https://github.com/chrisdone/xeno">xeno</a> and make it into a publishable package, please do so.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">The rest of my projects that are on Stackage are: <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/labels">labels</a>, <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/ace">ace</a>, <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/ical">ical</a>, <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/check-email">check-email</a>, <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/freenect">freenect</a>, <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/frisby">frisby</a>, <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/gd">gd</a>, <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/ini">ini</a>, <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/lucid">lucid</a>, <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/osdkeys">osdkeys</a>, <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pdfinfo">pdfinfo</a>, <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/present">present</a>, <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pure-io">pure-io</a>, <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/scrobble">scrobble</a>, <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/shell-conduit">shell-conduit</a>, <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/sourcemap">sourcemap</a>, <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/descriptive">descriptive</a>, <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/wrap">wrap</a>, <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/path">path</a>, <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/weigh">weigh</a>, <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskell-docs">haskell-docs</a>, and <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/structured-haskell-mode">structured-haskell-mode</a>. If you’re interested in taking over or co-maintaining any of them, let me know. Some are interesting, others are boring, some are trivial.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">I have other packages on Hackage, but they’re mostly dead or experiments that don’t need maintenance anyway.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">I’ve started the process of adding or changing maintainers on my public services:</p>
<ul style="margin:1.2em 0px;padding-left:2em">
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px"><a href="https://github.com/haskellnews">Haskell News</a> is now a GitHub organization. Luke Murphy is a co-owner, and has full access to the DigitalOcean account that is running the service. So if you want to work on that project, I’m not in the way.</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px"><a href="https://github.com/lpaste/lpaste">lpaste</a> has been moved to its own DigitalOcean account too. If anyone is interested in taking over the project or co-running it, let me know.</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px"><a href="https://github.com/chrisdone/tryhaskell">tryhaskell</a> doesn’t really require any maintenance, but it’s also on its own DigitalOcean account now too.</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px"><a href="https://github.com/chrisdone/ircbrowse">IRCBrowse</a> is now on its own DigitalOcean account too. It requires maintenance once in a while. If anyone is interested in taking over the project or co-running it, let me know.</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">Cheers!</p>
