In my on-going endeavour to grab fun DateTime modules, half serious DateTime modules and niche DateTime modules, I have set my sights on DateTime::Event::NameDay. Can I be a co-maintainer (or even the "first come" maintainer) for this module?
Am I competent enough to maintain this module? The algorithm is not rocket science, so I am confident with this part. Also, I am the French son of a French father and a French mother, raised in France and I have always lived in France (not counting touristic trips). For this reason, it was easy for me to spot the error reported in https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=121113 "Rameaux" is not a nameday, it is the French name of an Easter-related mobile feast, in this case "Palm sunday". On the other hand, I have no cultural links with the three other languages featured in DT::E::NameDay: Swedish, Slovakian and Greek. So I cannot spot a similar bug in these languages. On the gripping hand, patchs are welcome. And I can still use "wikipedia translate", although it is a tedious process. If you look at my Github repository, you can see that I have already done some Slovakian fixes at https://github.com/jforget/DateTime-Event-NameDay/commit/2bf61c2921ffe1bc38f8850fd8ac51ec8d830cd1 Am I dedicated enough to maintain this module? You may notice that I have worked on this module in November last year and that I have done nothing since then until this message. This is not because I lost interest in this module, but because I was busy elsewhere. Each time I have shuffled my todo list, DT::E::NameDay was buried deep inside this list. If you look at the timestamps in my backpan directory (including the Perl6 subdirectory), you will notice that I have 8 CPAN releases in 2019, as many as my most prolific year, 2015. I may be less prolific than other CPAN authors, but when compared with my older self, I am as prolific as ever. On the other hand, has anybody else been working on this module? Other CPAN authors are busy elsewhere, now I am ready to work on this module and release a new version to CPAN. Jean Forget JFORGET at CPAN dot org
