Tilda adoption

I don't know if this is the right thread, but anyways:

I was wondering if it was worth adopting the Tilda package. The terminal looks pretty sweet to me.

No one is maintaining it, but I don't know if people would use it (is it a worthwhile package?), and if there are plans for updates. I just wanted to here y'alls opinion.

I am pretty new at the AUR thing, but I have built a lot of packages, and I have a major interest. This would be my first PKGBUILD, but I think I would be able to handle it.

Thanks a lot,

Julian

Re: Tilda adoption

This is a community package. Only a TU can adopt/update it. The package is currently up-to-date.

If you want to help out by maintaining packages in AUR, adopt an orphaned package from unsupported.  To know if it's worthwhile, you can use the number of votes to guide you.

Re: Tilda adoption

There currently are quite less packages in unsupported which are orphaned and not replaced by other packages already.

I often have a look for interesting packages there, rarely i find one which is worth being contributed (mainain was the definition if we have an own package repo, as arch wiki says, wasn't it? ).
