I don't know, I am unconvinced because not doing this work and ask someone else outside of our community to do it smells like procrastinating, and we would just take the risk of crying later because we didn't find anybody that wanna do it. I will always stress that I am uninterested by tools, also because I would like to take responsibility for things I am confident I can do reasonably well, but if it helps I have no issue in volunteering for more work. I can: - Estimate the time needed to clean, modernize and re-test each tool. - Prepare the common infrastructure work I was suggesting; - Adopt a few ones (let say 4-5). The others should be adopted by someone else, at least temporarily. There are currently 19 tools, for a total of less than 6k of lines of code (which really it's nothing and I'm sure there's a lot of boilerplate too), with only a couple of tools that are "bigger" (podofocolor and podofoimpose), and the others really small or trivial. In 3-4 people we can divide the work and really in few days of work everything is done, even before summer. If not even in this way we can find enough volunteers then I question again why tools should be maintained at all: code lives because it's maintained and constantly improved, not just because you can find it compiled in Linux distributions. Let me know what you think about.
