Yes, but I'm sure we could get you added as a committer to the mod_perl project. > > > Do we have enough people still around with the skills necessary to take > > this on? > > > > Please reply here (or on the thread above [email protected]) if you > > would feel able to assist maintain libapreq2, e.g. to support new > > httpd releases and fix any security issues that arise as necessary. > > I'd be willing to assist, but I can't lead development. > > Fwiw, Joe Schaefer has forked the project on GitHub, along with mod_perl. > He's been very active recently with mod_perl development.

He's a committer (and PMC member) of mod_perl so if he is actively developing it then doing so here would have made more sense. There isn't much activity here these days, and if active development has now moved elsewhere then it makes me wonder what the point of mod_perl here is, let alone libapreq2 :-( --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
