Is there someone open to adopting it?

No response

Actually, I would be happy to adopt this plugin, if it really were to be abandoned.
I have a massive refactor of the code locally, which already solves some issues, and I am a very active telegram user.

I'm not sure if the plugin is truly abandoned, though. There is still occasional activity from some maintainers.

Would be happy to transfer this over to you @jacopotediosi after another week has passed on that issue posted on the plugin's repo, and we don't hear back from @fabianonline.

Hi. Transferring it over is fine for me. I personally aren't working on or even using this plugin anymore, so I'm fine with someone else taking over. If you're interested, @jacopotediosi, I could also convert the repository into an organization and transfer it over to you.

The only thing preventing me from doing this quite some time ago was the feeling of having to kinda vet the new maintainers, I think? I mean, the plugin is used by quite a few people and I wouldn't want someone to slip malicious code into the plugin. But if we're talking about transferring the plugin's ownership in the official repository, I feel like the decision has already been made for me and I'm fine with that. ;-)

[jacopotediosi]

Transferring ownership of the repository directly would certainly simplify the management of open issues, which I would otherwise need to copy from one repository to another.

If possible, I kindly ask you to hold off for at least a week, as I need to review the refactor I have locally — it dates back several months — to check whether it was completed and fully tested, and to compare it with any commits that may have been made upstream in the meantime.

Thanks @fabianonline, @jacopotediosi is a known friend to the community and trusted developer so we would have no issue letting him take ownership. I'll let you guys work out the details, but transferring the repo is definitely one of the easier transition methods.

[fabianonline]

@jacopotediosi That's no problem. Just let me know when it's convenient for you.

Maybe we could also move this discussion to another channel... how about Telegram? Feel free to message me there at @fabianonline.

Hi all,

I haven’t forgotten about this issue. I’ve spent the last two weeks pushing commits to my fork.

I’ve implemented fixes and many cool features, such as support for relative webcam URLs, integration with the new OctoPrint 1.9.0 webcam system, corrected webcam rotations, grouping photos and videos into a single album (mediagroup) in Telegram messages, supporting markdown v2, enabling autoescape for templates, migration to pyproject...

I still have some changes left to test, but I think I’ll be ready to adopt the plugin soon, maybe already next week.
Once I’m ready, I’ll delete my fork and ask you to transfer ownership of the repository so I can push everything there.

Thanks.

Hi all,

As promised, I’m ready to adopt this plugin. I’ve removed my fork jacopotediosi/OctoPrint-Telegram so the original repository can be transferred to me.

I’ve uploaded a copy under a different name so you can see what the repository will look like with my changes: https://github.com/jacopotediosi/OctoPrint-Telegram-Adoption

More precisely, there you can see the changelog of the next 1.7.0 version that I prepared: https://github.com/jacopotediosi/OctoPrint-Telegram-Adoption/releases/tag/1.7.0

@fabianonline, whenever you're ready, please transfer the repository to me, and I’ll do my best to accept the GitHub invitation within the 24-hour window. If you'd prefer to reach out on Telegram first, here’s my username: @JacopoMii

Once that’s done, I’ll push my commits there and open a PR here to update the plugin listing.
