Hey folks,

The following project is abandoned: http://drupal.org/project/schedule

but this module is active: http://drupal.org/project/scheduler

The functionalities are quite similar. I propose that a note on the top of the project page for the abandoned module direct people to the active module. Something like, "This module is no longer under development. However, the scheduler module replaces it and can be found at: http://drupal.org/project/scheduler."

What makes this a bit more urgent is that the "recommendations" functionality doesn't lead one to the other module. And Google searches also seemed to privilege the old module, at least with my attempts.

This is easy to do and I think could save people some headaches finding the module they need.

Title: Note Should be Added on Project Page of Abandoned Module With Important Namespace » Is Schedule module still being maintained? (and if not, let's redirect people to scheduler)
Project: Drupal.org site moderators » Schedule
Version: » master
Component: Other » Documentation

I agree, this seems reasonable.

However, is there any evidence that schedule has been abandoned other than it only have a 4.7 release? Robert is still generally involved in Drupal.

I don't see anything concrete, so I am moving this to the Schedule queue so it can ferment for 2 weeks (per the http://drupal.org/node/251466 process).

Schedule module is still being maintained, and I have a Drupal 5 version ready for release - just need to find time to do battle with CVS.

I've updated the project copy to point people to the other module, so that should help guide folks to Scheduler as well as give it some link relevance juice.

Great Robert, thanks. And thanks Greg, too.

I realize I should have posted here first. Sorry if I jumped to conclusions. The link you added on the project page is perfect.
