## Current status: People wanted ## Current status: Unmaintained
dupeGuru has currently only one maintainer, me. This is a dangerous situation that needs to be I haven't worked on dupeGuru for a while and frankly, I don't want to. I never had any duplicate
corrected. problems so I don't even care about the *raison d'être* of this thing.
The goal is to eventually have another active maintainer, but before we can get there, the project I don't want to answer incoming issues and I don't want to let them pile off unanswered either,
needs more contributors. It is very much lacking on that side right now. that feels rude. So here I am, being straightforward about it.
Whatever your skills, if you are remotely interestested in being a contributor, I'm interested in If you're considering using dupeGuru, you might want to give it a try but if it doesn't meet your
mentoring you. If that's the case, please refer to [the open ticket on the subject][contrib-issue] needs I suggest that you use another program because it's unlikely to ever be improved again.
and let's get started.
### Slowed development If you're a developer wanting to pick it up, by all means, do so! Fork it off and release
something. I will be more than happy to "officially" point to any fork that remotely looks like a
serious effort. I will also be happy to assist if you have questions about the code.
Until I manage to find contributors, I'm slowing the development pace of dupeGuru. I'm not much Good bye dupeGuru,
interested in maintaining it alone, I personally have no use for this app (it's been a *loooong*, Virgil Dupras
time since I had dupe problems :) )
I don't want to let it die, however, so I will still do normal maintainership, that is, issue
triaging, code review, critical bugfixes, releases management.
But anything non-critical, I'm not going to implement it myself because I see every issue as a
contribution opportunity.
### Windows maintainer wanted
As [described on my website][nowindows], dupeGuru v4.0 dropped Windows support
because there isn't anyone to bear the burden of Windows maintenance. If
you're a Windows developer and are interested in taking this task, [don't
hesitate to let me know][contrib-issue].
### OS X maintainer wanted
My Mac Mini is already a couple of years old and is likely to be my last Apple purchase. When it
dies, I will be unable maintain the OS X version of moneyGuru. I've already stopped paying for the
Mac Developer membership so I can't sign the apps anymore (in the "official way" I mean. The
download is still PGP signed) If you're a Mac developer and are interested in taking this task,
[don't hesitate to let me know][contrib-issue].
