Maintenance status?

bradjones1 opened this issue ยท 6 comments

It looks like Moxiecode was acquired by Ephox, and then subsequently Tiny (makers of TinyMCE); the product is still advertised on Tiny's web site. I appreciate the maintainers' prior work on this project, it's a real lifesaver for large files in particular. I'm simply curious about the future maintenance status of the project, and perhaps the contact/copyright/contact information can be updated to reflect the current maintainers, roadmap and maintenance status? Thanks!

There are many reactions here which shows interest - but no response. Does anyone know someone at Tiny who can reach out? I'm concerned this project is widely used but would not be in a position to respond if there were a security disclosure, for instance.

This seems to be a major issue and will be great if anyone involved with the project can give us a reply.

I don't have rights to work on this project anymore. And the company doesn't seem to be interested in evolving/maintaining it. Not sure if it is true for urgent security patches though. Previously we applied them no matter what.

One question @guruhost @bradjones1 where and why are you using Plupload these days?

I use it on a custom CMS but will migrate it asap to a maintained library. Thanks for your reply.

I loved "Plupload", but lately I have encountered a lot of problem with the rotation of the photos (from Samsung and/or Whatsapp)
Now I use Drozone.js, which seems more respectful of its users
Thanks Tiny, you will never get a single $ from my company!

Short answer, on legacy projects that used it prior to it being abandoned... which I think covers many use cases.

The broader issue here is not Tiny's business decisions (they can do as they wish) but that if the project is abandoned, it should be marked as such.
