Hello AhoyCli community!

First, thank you for using Ahoy and to all the folks that have helped turn a weekend project that scratched my own itch into a project that continues to grow it's userbase around the world. Growing despite my absence these last few years. I had moved on from DevOps to work for Vimeo for a few years, and then I've been at Game Company Fable Studio for the last 3 years, so unfortunately Ahoy has gotten precious little attention from me for like 5+ years, but the community of developers continued to use it and update it as the world of Golang progressed as well. This is non atypical in opensource, but I do apologize for not including more of you that have volunteered to support the project sooner.

Better late than never, I've recently invited 2 new maintainers to the project:

  • @acouch [Aaron Couch] : A friend and past colleague of mine on the open source DKAN project, which sponsored Ahoy's original development as part of our work for the US Health and Human Services.
  • @ocean [Drew Robinson]: Another Drupalist from Australia and who's contributed (and helpfully pinged me to make this happen finally).
  • @AlexSkrypnyk: A Drupalist and DevOps developer also from Australia.

My understanding is that Ahoy has mostly been used in relation to various Drupal projects, but my hope is that many types of projects can take advantage of a simpler way to create their own project specific scripts and avoid having to keep documentation or text files with lines they copy and paste. I still find needs for this in my own projects, but now that I'm typically working in Windows (never expected that to happen), I'll hopefully be able to contribute to make that environment work as well.

Again, thank you to everyone who has contributed and found this project useful. I'm still working in github daily, but ping me at frankcarey on twitter if you need to reach me.
