I think it probably only makes sense to have Linaro in the name if there is something specific to Linaro about it. I think for most of these, they could be generally used by anyone, so it makes more sense to leave that out.
I take it you give me a +1 to do it?
For "linaro-django-pagination" This project is a fork of dead/unmaintained django-pagination. The upstream author has rejected my requests to hand over ownership.
Is he interested in the changes you made as a patch, rather than a full takeover of the project?
I proposed my patches three times, each time without response. I emailed the author, no response either.
The upstream author did comment via twitter [1] (not to me but I was pointed at that response by a github user) and expressed concern over my intent.
What are the main differences?
I merged most of the dozen-or-more forks of this project on github. Fixed all the issues I ran across. Added better documentation and easier ability to run tests. Amongst the merges I did was lots of translations to other languages, better and easier customization of the pagination template and support for multiple paginations on one page.
If it's so different that it warrants a whole new project name, then we should name it something that makes it more clear what the difference is, rather than just "good". If it's not that different, then it would be better for us to work with the current django-pagination project and see how we can merge our changes.
The project is not moving anywhere for over a year [2], there are over 20 issues open [3], 10 pull requests [4] and 59 forks [5]. The maintainer did not ever respond to any of them. It seems to me that he lost all interest in this code.
Thanks ZK
