I am posting this message on pcre...@googlegroups.com and also as an issue on
the PCRE2Project on GitHub so that it gets to as many people as possible.
I implemented PCRE in the summer of 1997, never expecting it to be still going
strong 27 years later, nor be as widely used as it seems to be. Except for the
JIT code that is Zoltan's, the development and maintenance of PCRE has been my
own project, though of course many others have offered patches and suggestions
over the years.
The time has come to think about my successor. I have recently had a Big Scary
Birthday and am unfortunately beginning to feel my age. It would be a good
thing if the PCRE2 project could be passed on to others while I am still around
to help with the transition.
If anybody has any suggestions as to how best to go about this, please get in
touch.
