I'm currently working on a module that would integrate the features of the following blog-related modules:
... and add requested features as well. This module is being developed for Drupal 6 (some of these are lacking D6 ports), and in order to stick to Drupal standards I would like to ask if this module is still being developed or in need of a maintainer? According to CVS logs and the support system, there hasn't been much change =.
I have already contacted each of the module maintainers via the contact form, but not yet received a response. If there are any co-maintainers or developers interested in carrying forward with blog-related module features, please contact me (or post here). Thanks. :D

Macronomicus CreditAttribution: Macronomicus commentedYeah its been nearly a year since last commit. From the looks of this module there are a lot of features already here, perhaps they will let you be a co-maintainer? Either way I would be interested to see your new drupal 6 blogger goodness. Please let us know when you take next steps!

Eidolon NightWell, I still haven't heard back from any of the module maintainers, unfortunately. This all started because I've set up community blogging on two of my sites, and I prefer Drupal over WordPress MU. The problem is that the blog listings and such aren't very pretty. I've been using a combination of these three modules and some custom php pages to get the functionality I need. I figure that this would be a good chance to start giving back to the Drupal community (been using Drupal for nearly 3 years now).
The Drupal handbook suggests waiting 2 weeks after posting before filing an "abandoned module" claim. I really hope it doesn't come to that, but I haven't seen much action on any of these modules lately (except from the community patches).

mcload CreditAttribution: mcload commentedThis module appears to be abandoned under "Dealing with abandoned projects" guidelines at http://drupal.org/node/251466 , so if there is anybody who wants to take over the project, please forward this issue to "Drupal.org webmasters"

This module appears to be abandoned, and there has been no response (see here) from the project owner for 2 weeks. I would like to take over ownership of this module in order to continue development.

apadernoAs there is a supported module that what the abandoned module did (and even more), would not it possible to mark as abandoned the old module, and put a message that redirects to the new module?

yettyn CreditAttribution: yettyn commentedHi,
I see I've been missed ;-) In fact, I've been seriously ill and prevented by doctors order to sit in front of a computer. So I really don't know were things stands with Drupal, with Me and the Blog info module I was (still am?) maintainer of. I see D7 haven't been released yet so in reality not so much have moved (although I understand a lot of hard work has gone into D7 during my absense).
So well I start with switching on this issue first of all and take it from there, also have a D5 site that is in urgent need of upgrade to D6 and will start to look around.
I see I still stands as maintainer of Bloginfo, although it's been marked as abandoned and is prepared to pick up where I dropped things, because that's litterally what I had to do, just drop stuff. Anyway, I am back and (hopefully) fully recovered, then I am not sure if Bloginfo as such have any great future, but we'll come to that.
By the way, not sure if I need to open a new issue to get things back on track with Bloginfo or not? Anyone with the power or a mighty overview of things may tell or push the button?
Oh and I am fine now by the way, goes to the gym 2-3 time a week and gets stronger every day, actually much stronger then before... how was it now, nothing bad without something good with it - if you survive of course.
