People are using it in production already, so I would consider the port to be "ready", of course more things needs to be worked on / fixed, but at least there is something.

There's not any release candidate out so as per the issue statues on the project page this issue will be in N/W. we need either an alpha/beta to put this issue in N/R
From project page https://www.drupal.org/project/contrib_tracker

  • Active = No D8 port started yet.
  • Needs work = D8 development has started but is not yet usable.

  • Reviewed & tested by the community = Project has Release Candidate (RC) D8 release.
  • Fixed / Closed (fixed) = Project has stable D8 release.

@naveenvalecha
Well, I didn't set it to needs review, I'm just saying that for practical purposes people can try it out. To be honest though I would prefer a working module over a arbitrary set version tag.

Updated the issue summary since it was out of date:

- code is now on the project page
- no longer a dependency on maxlength_js
- D8 roadmap issue has been closed, so marking that as completed

If anyone who is doing this work wants to update the sections on estimated completion date, who's doing the port, or what help you need, please do so.
