[I'm posting this to the mailing list after first attempting to mail
an earlier version to Shugo-san directly. The original has not yet
been answered, and I'm not sure if I perhaps used an old address or
something.]
Hi Shugo-san,
I don't know if you remember me, but I've contributed a bit of code to
mod_ruby in the past, and I still actively use mod_ruby for a number
of my projects, including the Arrow framework (http://deveiate.org/projects/Arrow
).
There have been a few questions on the ruby-talk mailing list about
mod_ruby lately, and people are starting to say that it's
unmaintained. I think people just see that some of the links on http://modruby.net/
are broken and the fact that there hasn't been a release for almost
two years as a sign that it's not used anymore.
I'd like to help out, if you wouldn't mind some assistance. The things
I'd like to do:
* Create an instance of either Trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/) or
Redmine
(http://www.redmine.org/) (your preference), to replace the broken
Collaboa
links pointing to dev.modruby.net. I can either do the work on a
server which
I provide myself, or on the server currently hosting dev.modruby.net
if you
can allow me that kind of access.
* Keep the documentation up to date (both English, and Japanese with
help
from a friend).
* Add Rdoc-documentation to the mod_ruby C source.
* Help out with any patches or bugs you might not have time to look at
yourself.
* Write a comprehensive unit test suite
I also would like to update the libapreq code that I originally
contributed and that you later bundled with the distribution to a more-
recent version, as well as add support for request types other than
GET and POST, but I'd wait until after the above items were completed,
as they are a bit more crucial to the prospective user.
I'd naturally confirm anything I did with you, but I'd like to at
least correct the impression people have that it's "dead" or "not
maintained".
Thanks for your time,
--
