Despite being grateful that they're still hosting the service and were so kind to Open Source it, having production-grade projects use products that are unmaintained is a bad idea.\r\n\r\n### Creating a community fork\r\nThis is why I'd like to suggest the **creation of a fork, under a different name** and community-maintained GH organisation, so we can maintain Hackpad without relying on Dropbox.\r\n\r\nLike many of you, I still feel Hackpad is a great product which fills an important niche in the Open Source ecosystem. Basically, if you've ever had to use Etherpad-lite (from which Hackpad is a fork) you'll notice the significant UI improvements in Hackpad.\r\n\r\nBut comes the question: would some of you be interested in working, with me, on this?\r\n\r\nDespite being an experienced Open Source web developer, my knowledge about the Hackpad/Etherpad codebase is limited and my personal availability is limited to discussing issues, reviewing contributions and release engineering.\r\n\r\n### Joining the effort\r\n**Would you be interested in joining?** If so, what time, expertise and responsibilities could you contribute?\r\n\r\nAlso, feel free to retweet https://twitter.com/mathijsfietst/status/811171523872641024 for endorsement.\r\n\r\n### Points of action\r\nIn order to provide a useable fork of Hackpad, it seems sensible that the following actions should be taken:\r\n- [ ] Find collaborators\r\n- [ ] Find maintainers (2 or 3 people)\r\n- [ ] Consensus on a name\r\n- [ ] Start a GH orga, add maintainers\r\n- [ ] Fork hackpad with new name\r\n- [ ] Communication infrastructure (i.e. IRC/Gitter/Slack)\r\n- [ ] Rename Hackpad in repository\r\n- [ ] Getting Hackpad to run (again) in Docker\r\n- [ ] MIgrate existing issues\r\n- [ ] Create a public web page\r\n- [ ] Provide hosted version of fork\r\n- [ ] Implement data import/export to/from Hackpad\r\n- [ ] Merge selective patches from existing forks (notably [spikeekips/hackpad](https://github.com/spikeekips/hackpad), [kudelabs/collabpad](https://github.com/kudelabs/collabpad), [janprill/hackpad](https://github.com/janprill/hackpad)\r\n- [ ] Merge selective upstream patches from [ether/etherpad-lite](https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite)\r\n- [ ] Ask Dropbox for a redirect to the new fork\r\n\r\n### Name suggestions\r\nSome ideas for names could be:\r\n* NuPad\r\n* OpenPad: +1\r\n* FreePad\r\n* whackpad\r\n* HackPad (IFF Dropbox is willing to release the trademark and domain name it's still an excellent name!)\r\n\r\n### References, mentions\r\n* Maintainers of existing forks: @spikeekips @kudelabs @janprill\r\n* Contributors: @igorkofman @kjc-stripe @clizzin @MonoBan @trustrachel @dandv @TakeshiTseng @mvillis \r\n* Relevant issues #51, #61, #62 "},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/dropbox/hackpad/issues/comments/269550475","html_url":"https://github.com/dropbox/hackpad/issues/66#issuecomment-269550475","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/dropbox/hackpad/issues/66","id":269550475,"user":{"login":"dokterbob","id":22742,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/22742?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/dokterbob","html_url":"https://github.com/dokterbob","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dokterbob/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dokterbob/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dokterbob/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dokterbob/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dokterbob/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dokterbob/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dokterbob/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dokterbob/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dokterbob/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-12-28T22:21:00Z","updated_at":"2016-12-28T22:21:00Z","body":"+1 for whackpad"}}
