Description

Hi, all!

Quick update, and request for thoughts regarding PlexRequests! As I'm sure many have noticed, I've been MIA on this project for a number of months. Thankfully @rigrassm and others have stepped up and kept the project going; adding new features, fixing issues, and dealing with bugs--for that I, and the users, am grateful for!

However, I think the project is in a state where I'm curious if it's time to sunset the original PlexRequests and recommend people move over to Jamie's fork (OMBI). It has grown rapidly since he started it and in certain areas has surpassed the original.

I'm open to thoughts and ideas from others, collaborators and users alike! If there's still demand and energy behind working on things, great! Nothing would change, and I may have time to assist more. If however, others agree it's best to sunset things, I will be sad to see it go--but as my first OSS project, I can't complain. I will also work with Jamie to see if we can export/import people's requests (however I can't promise this is feasible).

Thanks lokenx
