New maintainer wanted for Active Select

I am the maintainer of active select, however I am not currently actively maintaining the module. The main module that made use of active select was the Category module for Drupal 5 (and Drupal 4.7). Active Select was originally written (for the Category module) for Drupal 4.7, at a time when Drupal core received its first-ever JavaScript libraries, and when things like AJAX were still cutting-edge and immature. However, a lot of things have changed since then. The Category module for Drupal 6 implements its own AJAX drill-down select system (using the built-in AHAH form functionality new to Drupal 6, and based on the book module implementation). As such, the Category module no longer has any need for activeselect.

Additionally, I believe that there are much better ways of implementing AJAX-based select widgets in Drupal 6. In particular, using the #ahah form API property, or using the Hierarchical Select module, are both superior alternatives. I therefore really don't see any reason why I or anyone else should continue to maintain activeselect. However, I could be wrong - there could be other people who believe that this module still has value in the Drupal 6 world, and that it's worth the effort of maintaining.

If anyone is interested in taking over maintainership of this module, please reply in this thread, or contact me directly. Thanks.

@Jaza: FYI If no one offers to help maintain the module and you'd like us to re-assign the module ownership to the 'Abandoned modules' user, file an issue in the webmasters queue.

@Jaza: There are still a lot of D5 sites that are benefiting from this module.

Second...

I have created a D6 version of this project and am using it in another module here: http://drupal.org/project/country_select . A poster has alerted me to possible namespace conflicts or at least breakage of Drupal conventions so I am putting my name forward to be maintainer of this module. The D6 version is working just fine.

New Zeal, could you please give a link here to download D6 version of Active Select project that you are using.

Thanks

@New Zeal: Given that the two week waiting period since your off has expired, you can create an issue in the webmaster's queue and reference this issue. They should make you the maintainer with no trouble.

Hi Nancy,

I've done a search but am unable to find the webmaster queue. Can you give me the url?

Thanks
