Is there plans to introduce D8 version of this module?
We (@InternetDevels team) would like to help you with development of this version.
Thanks, james_kerrigan.

Yes, but no timeline yet.

That sounds great! Feel free to go ahead, open a sandbox and start porting :)

I've found that you already have 8.x branch, so I decided to take it as starting point. Unfortunately this branch was outdated and it was impossible even to enable a module.

Here is my sandbox: https://drupal.org/sandbox/idjk/2223695 . I've fixed entity declarations and configs, so now it is possible to install (and uninstall) module using latest core version. I hope i can continue my work on the next weekend.

Thanks!

Right, I forgot I actually started something few month ago. If you want I can grant you commit access to the Github repo - I prefer Github over Drupal's git interface.

The big work is not only porting from D7 to D8, but also having a proper migration path...

Thanks, but currently I work on a very basic things, so I don't need anything special from git interface. I'll ask you for the access if I have some more serious code to commit.

I've ported hook menu to the new routing system. Now it is possible to access settings forms and save settings. Next I plan to check all hooks in the .module file and get rid of the includes folder. Next I plan to port views and tests. And then it will be possible to think about migration path.

I just found that message_ui module maintainer has a sandbox for Message for D8. Looks like he's done quite a lot of work, so I'm just adding this here to avoid duplication of work.

Hi there, I'm also interested on this. I also think that github is quite useful for contrib porting. What is the repo I should use? I guess it is at https://github.com/RoySegall/message, but confirmation would help ;-)

Thanks @amitaibu, watching that one. In the meantime I will do PRs to @webflo's sandbox which is updated until beta-4. Thanks!

Just updating the link to the dev repo: https://github.com/Gizra/message/tree/8.x-1.x

Looks like there is some great progress, great work.

Hoping for some more free time myself, perhaps I could help with #2489792: Port Message UI to Drupal 8, as Message Private has a dependency.

Can we close this one? The porting process completed.
