Offering to co-maintain Signup

Thanks for the offer to help! Agreed, this module is once again in sad shape. :/ A quick search reveals that you've only participated in 2 issues in the signup queue, although in both cases it was to post a patch (and the patches seem good based on a very quick skim). So, that's a great track record for participating by contributing patches. ;)

I'm once again having doubts about the future of this module and code. Honestly, in D7, the entity signups module seems like a better underlying architecture, although I haven't tried using it, have no idea what state it's in, etc. Believe it or not, the only site I ever personally used signup.module on was for Drupal 4.6. So I don't really have any direct interest in this anymore, and have been maintaining it "for fun" ;) and because for a while there, people were interested in hiring me to work on it. But that's dried up (as has my available time for such things). So, my first instinct is to say: "sure, go for it!".

However...

A) I'd like the other current co-maintainer, ezra-g to have a chance to chime in with his thoughts, concerns, intentions and wishes.

B) I'd like to seriously discuss if it's really a good idea to continue to maintain all this code, or just put some energy into a migration path and then help signupentity (or whatever it's called) mature and develop.

C) If you're going to become a co-maintainer, I think it'd be wise to start by focusing on bug fixes and getting a 7.x-1.0 release out the door before working on any major restructuring or new features.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply. I'll try to track down ezra-g via other channels, since he's apparently not seeing this issue on its own. ;)

Cheers,

Hi Jerenus,

Thanks for offering to help!

It would be great to see you demonstrate your knowledge here by participating in the queue through reviewing and writing patches. Once you've done that, please update the issue here.

I presume you mean Entity Registration module? I'm finding it difficult to move to that module. It seems based around registrations just being registrations, not bound to specific datetimes, so essentially you could register onto anything, not just content with a date. So it doesn't do the nice out of the box things that signup does, like send reminders close to a date, or close signups when an event has past.

The equivalent to uc_signup, commerce_registration, also seems even less mature in terms of preventing over-booking.

And both in general just don't seem to do as much for events out of the box.

Don't mean to hijack this thread, just wanted to say I miss this module ;)

Hi Ezra, Dww, don't you think that it is already time to add some maintainer for this project?

If Janus is still available, it can be good start.
Much better as no maintainer now.

I found entity registration very interesting, but rough on edges, and in some functional ways too and very user unfriendly.
On the other side, signup was always very user friendly with its simple signup node form, views, etc.
Maybe in the future there can be good benefit from both these modules, or maybe there will come something like entity signup and it will be much better than entity registration.

I think nobody nows what comes, now it is time to wake up and just open door for new maintainer :P
thanks to everybody for their inputs.

There are quite a few patches that need to be reviewed. I humbly suggest starting there.
https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/signup?status=8

Since there haven't been any changes in a while, most of the patches probably still apply. Or can be easily rerolled.

I am closing this issue, as there haven't been follow-up actions as per Taking over unsupported (abandoned) projects (which isn't just about unsupported or abandoned projects).
