to Liberator
Hi, 

I recently found Liberator and I really like it. However, it seems that there has not been a lot of development lately, and issues are stacking up on Github. I'm really interested in helping keep maintaining and developing Liberator. Specifically, I think I can help with bug fixing, merging PR on Github, and keeping the dependencies up-to-date.

P/s: I'm not sure if this is the correct way to do it but I can't seem to find a way to contact Philipp.

Best regards,

Philipp here, so this worked.

Any help is appreciated. Unfortunately recently I did have much time to take care of issues. The good news though is that liberater is rather stable and most things I think that should be fixed would involved rather fundamental changes. It’s not done, nor is it complete but it’s pretty mature.

Speaking of this I really welcome your offer to help with maintaining it. Malcom who had contributed substantially to liberater basically moved on to Yada and all the other nice libraries from Juxt. Please just reach
out to me for specific issues or changes you’re interested in.

I’m a little concerned regarding updating dependencies. I know of a lot of legacy systems which use a specific version of liberator and do not want to update a dependency without a good reason. By this is just a rule of thumb. When there is the need or a security issue we should update for sure.

Looking forward working with you,
Philipp Meier
