Retiring BlogLiterately

Way back in 2012 I took over maintainership of the BlogLiterately tool from Robert Greayer, its initial author. I used it for many years to post to my Wordpress blog, added a bunch of features, solved some fun bugs, and created the accompanying BlogLiterately-diagrams plugin for embedding diagrams code in blog posts. However, now that I have fled Wordpress and rebuilt my blog with hakyll, I don’t use BlogLiterately any more (there is even a diagrams-pandoc package which does the same thing BlogLiterately-diagrams used to do). So, as of today I am officially declaring BlogLiterately unsupported.

The fact is, I haven’t actually updated BlogLiterately since March of last year. It currently only builds on GHC 9.4 or older, and no one has complained, which I take as strong evidence that no one else is using it either! However, if anyone out there is actually using it, and would like to take over as maintainer, I would be very happy to pass it along to you.

I do plan to continue maintaining HaXml and haxr, at least for now; unlike BlogLiterately, I know they are still in use, especially HaXml. However, BlogLiterately was really the only reason I cared about these packages personally, so I would be happy to pass them along as well; please get in touch if you would be willing to take over maintaining one or both packages.
