I am a user of Dancer::Plugin::Passphrase The author, James Aitken, is no longer among us. I would like to make a Dancer2::Plugin::Passphrase based on the work of James (c). Are others working on this? What would be the next stap? Regards, Henk van Oers PAUSE-ID: HVOERS Nic: HVO34-RIPE

I think the most sensible step, if no-one else is working on a similar module, would be for you to adopt Dancer::Plugin::Passphrase and release the Dancer2 version along side it. I think James would be glad to know his work was being updated and used.
Are others working on this? What would be the next stap?
Make a request for COMAINT on the dist, I'm sure the powers that be will grant it given that James is no longer able to "agree" it. If it helps, as his friend, I agree to it on his behalf ;) Cheers, JamesR -- James Ronan

James, Requests to the Dancer project for information/details on James' passing were not returned, so James' modules weren't put into the usual "custodial" status. Was an obituary published or are there additional details that can be shared to corroborate what happened? Regards, David Golden PAUSE Admin for IDs -- David Golden <xdg@xdg.me> Twitter/IRC: @xdg

As James was estranged from his family it took some time for them to be tracked down, and as a result it's been difficult for us to get any more information. As far as we know, the accident he had a couple of months previous to his passing - where by he was struck by a motor vehicle whilst on foot - was the underlying cause. When he returned to work, and we spent some time talking, he told me that the doctors had confirmed that he had some form of damage to his brain, but they were happy he was showing good progress with healing and so he was allowed to return to work. Over the course of those 2 months the injury to his leg was well on it's way to healing and he no longer required the walking stick he was using. About a week later we didn't hear from James for the tail end of a week (This was not uncommon as we all telecommute and occasionally we just get on with what we're doing). The shock came on the Monday morning when we had a message from his girlfriend that he had passed away. The details weren't clear, he had apparently returned to hospital because he was feeling unwell, as to whether he passed away in hospital or was again released we're unsure. Needless to say we didn't really press his girlfriend for more information given the situation. I can confirm however that due to the support of his friends, the Perl community and even some complete strangers, that James did get a decent funeral and a proper send off. So my personal thanks to all those that contributed, as it was a send off he deserved. Hope this helps shed some light, and allows us to keep James' modules going. Thanks again, JamesR -- James Ronan

James, Thank you for filling in the missing pieces and providing an obituary link. I've transitioned JAITKEN to PAUSE custodial status and transferred his modules to the ADOPTME account. PAUSE maintainers will transfer ownership of those modules to anyone who volunteers to take over. Regards, David On Thu, Sep 18, 2014 at 4:26 AM, James Ronan <james@ronanweb.co.uk> wrote:

I'd be happy to take on James' Dancer::Session::DBI, as we're active users of it and happy to maintain it (I'm BIGPRESH on CPAN). I'd be tempted to take on the awesome Acme::Addslashes too, but I think it's reached the peak of perfection already ;) On Thu, 18 Sep 2014 09:34:41 -0400 David Golden <xdg@xdg.me> wrote:
