Drigg is looking for a new co-maintainer!

Posted June 21st, 2008 by admin

I would like to ask the free software community to syndicate this entry as much as possible. It's not exciting, it's not "hot", but it is about the future of a great piece of free software.

The short version: I am looking for a new co-maintainer for [Drigg](http://www.drigg-code.org).

I have worked really hard on Drigg. I believe it's now the best option out there for people who want a Digg-like site.
The roadmap now has:

* Fix all outstanding bugs. there are very few, actually, and they are all well-known

* Port to Drupal 6.

* Start implementing important feature requests. Again, there are feature requests that are well-known, and would be nice to have on Drigg

* Take Drigg to the next level. This is the exciting part: Drigg has _immense_ potential. Drupal is growing a lot. New modules will enable more and more social networking abilities. There is a lot that can be done.

I took Drigg this far, but I am fatigued. I wrote Drigg not out of passion for programming, but because I felt that the whole world needed it. I wrote several thousands of line of code in a very short time, and kept fixing bug after bug. I also took the step of splitting Drigg into several sub-module--a painful, bold and much needed move. Not, the big reports are very few and Drigg is very well structured.

I am now looking for a new co-maintainer who can take the lead in Drigg's development. I am not a programmer, and I don't feel I am the right person to push this project any further. There are important features that need to be implemented, and I am just too slow. I am not a very skilled programmer, and it simply shows. The code is good out of immensely hard work, and this means that development is slow. I feel the community deserves better.

I will still be here! People who know me and trust me know that I will hold the hand of the new maintainer and will make sure that everything is going the right direction. I will be here, via email, IM, phone, etc. The new maintainer needs to know:

* PHP
* Drupal modules
* Javascript

If you would like to take over an immensely important, exciting, lively project, please let me know now ("merc" followed my "mobily1" and then ".com")..

Well, I'm interested if this
