# Project Decomissioned
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This project has been decomissioned. I, James Sumners, took it on when it was
|
|
|
|
|
languishing without any maintenance as it filled a need in the ecosystem and
|
|
|
|
|
I had built things at a prior organization that depended upon this project.
|
|
|
|
|
I spent a lot of time triaging issues and reworking things toward a path
|
|
|
|
|
that could be more easily maintained by a community of volunteers. But I have
|
|
|
|
|
not had the time to dedicate to this project in quite a while. There are
|
|
|
|
|
outstanding issues that would take me at least a week of dedicated development
|
|
|
|
|
time to solve, and I cannot afford to take time off of work to do that.
|
|
|
|
|
Particularly considering that the aforementioned organization was two
|
|
|
|
|
jobs ago, and it is extremely unlikely that I will transition to a role again
|
|
|
|
|
that will need this project.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So, why am I just now deciding to decomission this project? Because today,
|
|
|
|
|
2024-05-14, I received the following email:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I will not tolerate abuse, and I especially will not tolerate tacit death
|
|
|
|
|
threats, over a hobby. You can thank the author of that email for the
|
|
|
|
|
decomissioning on this project.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
My recommendation to you in regard to LDAP operations: write a gateway in a
|
|
|
|
|
language that is more suited to these types of operations. I'd suggest
|
|
|
|
|
[Go](https://go.dev).

|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
P.S.: if I ever do need this project again, I might revive it. But I'd fight
|
|
|
|
|
hard for my suggestion above. Also, I will consider turning it over to an
|
|
|
|
|
interested party, but I will require at least one recommendation from a
|
|
|
|
|
Node.js core contributor that I can vet with the people that I know on that
|
|
|
|
|
team.
