I'd really like to this and #10 to be merged in master. Is there a reason this hasn't happened yet?

[wolph]

It looks like @zacharyvoase hasn't been active on Github since may, so it might take a while ;)

[jnns]

I just noticed that

INSTALLED_APPS += ('django_postgres',) 

is needed in order to run ./manage.py sync_pgviews, which is missing in this pull request.

[wolph]

@zacharyvoase Is this project still alive?

[scott-w]

@wolph Zach hasn't maintained the project in a while, as far as I can tell, though django-postgres still works (we use it in production). I can maintain issues on my own fork if you want to send your pull request to that.

If you're willing to help with the maintenance, I can put it under my employer's account (@mypebble), and give you maintainer permissions.

[zacharyvoase]

Sorry about this; I've been unable to put substantial work into most of my open-source work lately. I would love to find a long-term maintainer/developer for this library though.

This is probably going to end up having a lot of overlap with django.contrib.postgres I'd think?

[zacharyvoase]

Oh, definitely.

[wolph]

@zacharyvoase I would be willing to take over maintenance for this project completely, I'm already maintaining a bunch (https://github.com/search?q=%40WoLpH+%28django+OR+python%29&type=Repositories&ref=searchresults) of Django and/or Python projects. One more is not really a problem :)

And if the kickstarter comes through and becomes useful we can simply merge it with that.

Bump @zacharyvoase
