@DeclareDesign (@jaspercooper @graemeblair and @acoppock) were thinking of using dataverse, may be interested in future of this package.

Hello all - is this package being maintained now or is it still in limbo?

[pdurbin]

@tmrozewski I'm not sure. Are you interested in helping? 😄

[tmrozewski]

If I could I would - sadly, I don't have the chops!

@monogan has expressed interest in taking over and is exploring it.

I currently don't have the bandwidth to take this on and am not currently using dataverse in any way, but will volunteer when both of those change.

I just invited @wibeasley to join https://github.com/orgs/IQSS/teams/dataverse-client-r/members which is the current "Admin" team (@leeper you're still in there as well).

This was after I merged pull request #24 by @wibeasley to get the tests passing on Travis and after he wrote some very nice messages at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/dataverse-community/j-cGlnpKs14/zW99LiLJAwAJ

THANK YOU, Will! I'm looking forward to working with you! Closing!

@leeper & @pdurbin, Thanks for including me. I have two questions/requests.

1. Will you add me to the GitHub team so I can make changes to these branches? I won't make changes directly to the master branch.
2. @leeper, would you like to remain as the official "maintainer" defined by CRAN? This is the person that has to respond when CRAN sends warnings & notifications when the package needs to be updated (eg, a package dependency has made some backward-incompatible changes that is now breaking our code)

For quick reference, here are guidelines for the roles. And remember that the maintainer is poorly named the "creator"

• page 65-66 of the R Journal article.
• https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html#The-DESCRIPTION-file

  ‘"cre"’ (creator) for the package maintainer

[pdurbin]

@wibeasley hi! Yes, that's what I meant when before I said that I invited you to join the "team" on GitHub. I'm still seeing "pending":

I think if you go to your GitHub notifications there will be a link you can click to join the team? I'm not sure. Or maybe an email went out? I'll re-open this issue until this is resolved.
