ESP Easy development status
Dear all,
Due to personal reasons, i have to stop active development on ESP Easy. So this would be a good moment to hand over the project maintenance to members of the community. If anyone wants to take over the project control on github, please contact me by PM, so i can add you as a team member of the github letscontrolit organization.
All my work, including all experimental stuff, is available on github as of now: https://github.com/letscontrolit
Wish you all the best for 2017!
Best regards,
Martinus

Thanks for the support and software, I'm afraid your knowledge will be missed.

That is a great shame. This is a fantastic project, thank you very much for your contribution.

Thank you for all the work you did. It has been exactly what I have been looking for after getting serious about home automation.
Good luck

Good Luck Martinus, I'm relatively new with ESPEasy but learnt a lot and I'm sure project will continue with such a great community!
I know exactly what means giving priorities to other areas of your life, so I am sure it's for the best of you!! Take care!

Re: ESP Easy development status
Hi Martinus, I'm quite new here but have been using ESPEasy for a little while now and it is awesome. I'm sorry to hear you won't have as much time for it any more.
I'm keen to help out and contribute though, would be awesome to join the github project!

I realy love this piece of software

Re: ESP Easy development status
Hi there from the Czech Republic.
For first, thank you very much for your work. I really do like your project and found it very useful.
But one thing makes me unsure. You ended up with the project. I can imagine how much time consuming it should be. Fully underdstand. Is it worth to use EasyESP in long-term running projects? AKA home automation? Currently been considering several ESP projects including this one for my home-automation. Eventually I'm counting with some development contribution. But for me and the others is very important if there is a community behind each project.
So my question is what do you think the future of the project will look like? Thank you again for your hard work! David

Re: ESP Easy development status
Personally I'd ruin ESPeasy if I was to contribute with coding, but I'd be happy to donate money if it could ensure the project's future.
Re: ESP Easy development status
Awww..too bad...I just discovered the project a few weeks ago.
Thanks for the great work martinus!
If we just have someone that could merge all the pull requests, the project might continue on.
Since the software architecture is quite nice, i'm willing to try it.

So a "someone" to merge ?
Merging is not so difficult, but how to guaranty the quality?
Better to fork the existing project and merge the things you like.

Re: ESP Easy development status
Forking isn't the correct solution for this situation: The original project is stalled, we need someone to continue the project.
I've already reviewed a lot of the pull requests that are open and responded to them. Some of those pull requests can be merged with little knowledge of the rest of the project. (since they are simple bugfixes/features)
I will now start reviewing the rest of the code base and determine if I can handle it.
Maybe we should continue the discussion here: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2617
I've posted more details there.

Re: ESP Easy development status
(cross post, for people that only follow this thread)
Ok i've pretty much have things up and running.
Have a look at the README over here to see whats going on: https://github.com/psy0rz/ESPEasy/blob/master/README.md
I've already merged a pull request: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/pull/96
If you guys want to test to see if everything is working like you would expect, that would be great.
Please let me know what you think,

You did exact what I was proposing.

Re: ESP Easy development status
We're talking about 2 different kind of forks here, it could either mean:
1. There is some disagreement, or someone wants to go a different direction than the original project. Hence the whole PROJECT is forked, starting a new project. Perhaps a different name and perhaps a new site/wiki/forum. (I have no interest in doing that at all.)
2. Someone on is starting work on a temporary branch (github calls it a fork) to continue the project for practical reasons, but is still working on the same project with the same people.
I'm number 2: As soon as I have access to the main repository I will continue there and merge back my changes to the main repository. (since development there stopped this will be very easy since there are no changes to merge)
I still dont have contact with anyone who can help me with that. (Martinus hasn't responded yet, but it's only been a few days since my first message)
Maybe its better this way: People can see what kind of changes I want to make and determine if they like it, before handing over "the keys" so to speak.![Lach :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Re: ESP Easy development status
No, I will focus purely on the ESPeasy coding. If someone wants to maintain that stuff but needs some initial help with improving the development process I might be able to do that.
I also dont have time to do the many other things: Maintaining forums and wikis and giving general support, but I assume there are already people that are doing a great job with that? (wiki seems pretty nice so far, and i like the direct links from the webgui in esp easy)
If people prefer some pull requests or playground plugins to be handled first let me know, otherwise I will get the long hanging fruit first. (easy merges with minimal impact on code base)

Re: ESP Easy development status
I have contact with Martinus and access to the main repository. Fortunately he will stay involved with the project, but currently doesn't have the time to do any real coding. So he'll be on the background (for now).
I'll keep you posted.
