In December 2014 hiredis was without a maintainer
|
|
and by February 2015 [I took over co-maintainership](/2015/02/09/hiredis-is-up-to-date/) together with other people.
|
|
I had high hopes to get all related projects into a usable, maintained and future-proof state and develop new features over time. I mostly failed.
|
|
|
|
I couldn't spend enough time on these projects and every time I tackled a few issue I ran out of energy and motivation to finish the task.
|
|
|
|
**Today I'm resigning as the maintainer of all hiredis-related libraries:**
|
|
|
|
* [hiredis](https://github.com/redis/hiredis)
|
|
* [hiredis-rb](https://github.com/redis/hiredis-rb)
|
|
* [hiredis-node](https://github.com/redis/hiredis-node)
|
|
* [hiredis-py](https://github.com/redis/hiredis-py/)
|
|
* [redis-rb](https://github.com/redis/redis-rb/)
|
|
|
|
[try.redis.io](http://try.redis.io/) will keep running for now in its current form without updates.
|
|
|
|
I contacted my co-maintainers and Salvatore to let them know and opened issues for people to coordinate future maintenance.
|
|
Thanks go out to [Michael](https://github.com/michael-grunder) and [Damian](https://github.com/djanowski) for their ongoing effort, help with issues and contributions.
|
|
Of course also thanks to those people reporting issues and contributing code, documentation and support over the years.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If anyone wants to help and take over, I will hand over respective owner rights to the different package systems.
|
|
You can reach me by mail.

|
|
My earliest contact with Redis dates back to 2010, when I started writing [an Erlang client](https://github.com/badboy/redis.erl).
|
|
A couple dozen commits to Redis itself, hundreds of messages on the mailing list and thousands of messages in the IRC channel later, I will end my involvement in the project to tackle new things.
|
|
|
|
**So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish.**
