FAQ
Can a module be adopted by more than one person?
Yes. Some of the larger modules like mod_callcenter are going to require this. It just takes too much time and energy for one person to take care of. As a team, you need to coordinate amongst yourselves to figure out what needs to be documented, what bugs need to be fixed, etc.
What happens if I can no longer maintain a module?
- If you are working in a team, bring it up with them and let them know what's going on.
- Remove your name from this page.
- If you are the only one maintaining a module, let one of the core developers know.
- send out an email to the mailing list, and try to ask if someone can take it over.
