Re: django-formtools is neglected/unmaintained

[Romain Garrigues]

Hi guys,

I'm currently investing some efforts to clean and make some django packages 
up-to-date.
After django-dirtyfields (https://github.com/romgar/django-dirtyfields), 
I'm now beginning to work on django-model-utils 
(https://github.com/carljm/django-model-utils) where there is some work to 
update it, but after this, and if nobody else had enough time to have a 
look, I can try to contribute on django-formtools.

 The Django team is a collection of volunteers (excepting me) who work 
 on Django. It seems that no one on the team or reading this mailing list 
 has time or interest in maintaining the project. We need to clarify the 
 maintenance status, but that doesn't necessarily mean continuing the 
 project in its current form if there's little interest.

 Absent volunteers, another idea could be for an interested freelancer 
 to start a kickstarter-style fundraiser to raise money to fund some time 
 to 
 work on some issue in the backlog. At least it would help determine if any 
 users think the project is worth paying for.

According to https://github.com/django/django-formtools/issues/75, there's 
a change in master that's needed for 1.10 compatibility.

I'll try to do a release if I can get access to the PyPI record. I pinged

Re: django-formtools is neglected/unmaintained

[eric . verner]

Hi Tim,

You make some good points. Basically, my situation is that I want to use 
some features of Django v1.10 for a project at my company, but I am unable 
to because I use django-formtools for a FormPreview, and it is not 
compatible with v.1.10. I am also worried about using Django for future 
projects given that there seem to be problems finding people to contribute 
to what seems to be an important package. Whether I contribute depends on 
the answers to several questions: (1) How much work is necessary to get 
formtools compatible with v1.10? (2) Would my contribution make a 
difference, given that I would be a new contributor, and I don't have a ton 
of time to give? (3) Is there another package that people are using for 
FormPreviews that I'm not aware of? I couldn't find anything else that was 
more up-to-date than django-formtools. (4) Is this a sign that people 
simply aren't using Django for this task, and are maybe instead using some 
kind of Javascript library instead? If you have any information these 
questions, please let me know.

Thanks,
Eric

Re: django-formtools is neglected/unmaintained

[Tim Graham]

Is the situation bad enough that you would volunteer to maintain the 
project?

The Django team is a collection of volunteers (excepting me) who work on 
Django. It seems that no one on the team or reading this mailing list has 
time or interest in maintaining the project. We need to clarify the 
maintenance status, but that doesn't necessarily mean continuing the 
project in its current form if there's little interest.

Absent volunteers, another idea could be for an interested freelancer to 
start a kickstarter-style fundraiser to raise money to fund some time to 
work on some issue in the backlog. At least it would help determine if any 
users think the project is worth paying for.

Re: django-formtools is neglected/unmaintained

[eric . verner]

This is really bad. django-formtools used to be part of the core of Django. 
Is this getting the attention it deserves from the Django Foundation?

django-formtools is neglected/unmaintained

[Tim Graham]

Hi,

django-formtools seems neglected. It's been several months since the 
release of Django 1.10 but a compatible version of formtools hasn't been 
released to PyPI.

Personally, I don't know if it's important to maintain it as an "official 
project." An alternative could be to "donate" it to JazzBand 
(https://jazzband.co/) and see if the community maintains it.

If you have an interest in this package (especially if you want to maintain 
it), let us know.
