It was Tuesday, February 24, 2004 when Jeffrey W. Baker took the soap box, saying:
: Therefore I'd be happy and grateful to hand off the maintainership of
: Apache::Session to one or a group of you. Proposals welcome.
Apache::Session is an important distribution for the work I do. I'd be
willing to maintain it. I know your TODO says there isn't anything
left, this is what I'd propose, in no particular order.
- Document the API Apache::Session expects you to implement for new
stores, lockers, serializers, and generators.
- Make interfaces more abstract so using a tied hash is not the only
easily accessible option.
- Update the test suite to use the Test::* modules.
- Review and expand test coverage as much as possible (anybody have
a spare Sybase or Oracle?).
- Address anything at
http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=Apache-Session
- Address anything in http://cpanratings.perl.org/d/Apache-Session
appropriately.
- Review and apply suggestions and patches from contributors.
- Form a secret cabal to get the cpanrating up to 4.5 stars.
- Work with any testing monkeys that the Phalanx project brings me,
http://qa.perl.org/phalanx/distros.html
- Always precede a release with as many dev releases as necessary
(is this getting too detailed?).
- Generally treat the distribution with great care because it is
widely used.
In any case, I'm interested. I know I listed a lot here, but that's
because I listed as much as I could think of. Baby steps are required.

"So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing thing,
even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about
funding us? Or we'll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our
salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we went
to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You
haven't got through college yet.'"
