Hello,

For those those of you that haven’t heard, Alison has been kind enough to transfer ownership of SimpleMap to me (@glennansley) and FullThrottle Development. We were able to immediately update the plugin to work with WordPress 3.0 and are currently refactoring much of the plugin to work with Custom Post types. In addition to the general refactoring, we will be addressing various bugs that users have reported to us. After this we will begin to develop additional enhancements.

Please feel free to contact me via Twitter or the support forums if you have any questions.

I hate to do this, but it has become glaringly obvious that I don’t have time to keep up with SimpleMap support requests. Emails fall through the cracks, and the support forums go unanswered. I am really sorry that I haven’t had the time to commit to this, but with SimpleMap being freeware and my family falling on harder times, SimpleMap is at the bottom of the totem pole.

I’m announcing here that I’m stopping development on SimpleMap (since I haven’t been able to do any in a long time anyway) and I am going to display on the support forums that I won’t be answering any threads. I will leave the forums open, because sometimes users answer each other’s questions.

If you’re a developer who wants to take over this project, please contact me. I’d rather hand it off and see it flourish in someone else’s hands than continue to let users down by not being involved.

If you’re a user looking for support, you can search the FAQ/forums for your problem, or make a post with the hopes that another user will know the answer.

I am sorry things went down this way, but sometimes life is just an unstoppable force that pushes in other directions. My apologies to users who have been stiffed for support, and my deepest gratitude for all the users of SimpleMap for your continued patience and thanks.
