Seeking new maintainer!

This package is not being actively maintained. If you're interested in contributing or taking over, please express your interest here.

Could you please apply a open source license or some forum of license to it? With a open source license people would be allowed to pick up the project.

EDIT: to elaborate, right now no one even has the right to use this program.

@leeper I have been using aws.sns and I don't mind taking over as maintainer - I already maintain a few of your aws packages (aws.polly, aws.comprehend, aws.transcribe, aws.translate).

@JeffreyStrahm The package is under GPL (>=2). The license is listed in the DESCRIPTION file as is standard for R packages.

Thanks - Antoine

By the way it is not installable as is since there is no maintainer listed.

@MarkEdmondson1234

I'd like to take over this package to put it back in production, like I did for aws.polly, aws.translate, aws.comprehend, etc. I've got a PR ready to that effect (#8).

Sorry to ping you directly but I think it's the only way :)

[MarkEdmondson1234]

Yes its the best way, I don't get the notifications otherwise :) Have added you, thanks!
