New release? Is anybody managing this anymore?

New release? Is anybody managing this anymore?

[wellsoliver]

Yeah, maybe we could transfer the project to an active maintainer? Little things like the move from flask.ext.cache to flask_cache on the exports...

[sh4nks]

In case you are interested, I am maintaining a Flask-Cache fork here: flask-caching.

@sh4nks has your version diverged very heavily from the original? it seems that @thadeusb has been absent from the internet for a while. Hope he's alright. Would be nice to reclaim the name on pypi, though. "flask-caching" is a teeny bit clunky ;P

[sh4nks]

Yeah I know it's not the best name but still better than one with a suffix ;) I hope so too.. I would be happy to abandon my fork again but as long as nothing happens here I try to maintain it.
I have documented everything that I have changed/merged into my fork: https://pythonhosted.org/Flask-Caching/changelog.html

@sh4nks I would love to see Flask-Caching be updated here: http://flask.pocoo.org/extensions/
Or another idea is to just create a newly updated extension toolchest with most updated flask extensions. There are just many tools and not well maintained extension

I actually had the same question, sent out an email to Thadeus but I suspect I wont get a response?

[wellsoliver]

Now I'm just worrying about the dude.

[sh4nks]

@wellsoliver yeah me too, I hope he's ok!

According to Facebook, he seemed to be OK at least until August :) https://www.facebook.com/thadeusb

Very likely different new priorities in life 😄

@thadeusb please move this project under https://github.com/jazzband/ which has qualified set of mainteners which can make some simple PRs etc and keep this project alive.
