![]() ![]() Environmental issues aside, it's a tech person's nightmare: Index and archive all of your scanned paper documents Thank you to everyone who contributed, and for making Free software awesome. I hope you all understand, and I'm really pleased that this work has been able to continue to live and be useful in a new project. Regardless, if we do decide to make the transfer, I'll post a notification here a few months in advance so that people won't be surprised by new code at this location.įor my part, I'm really happy & proud to have been part of this project, and I'm sorry I've been unable to commit more time to it for everyone. In time, I may transfer ownership of this organisation to Jonas if he's interested in taking that on, but for the moment, he's happy to run Paperless-ng out of its current repo. If you really like "Old Paperless", that's ok too! The project is GPL licensed, so you can fork it and run it on whatever you like so long as you respect the terms of said license. So, with all of the above in mind, I've decided to archive this project as read-only and suggest that those interested in new updates or submitting patches have a look at Paperless-ng. With 564 forks currently tracked by GitHub, I suspect there are a few more forks worth looking into out there as well. It's really good, and unlike this project, it's actively maintained (at the time of this writing anyway). In the shadow of these difficulties, a fork called Paperless-ng written by Jonas Winkler has cropped up. With 23 pull requests waiting and 157 issues slowly filling up with confused/annoyed people wanting to get their contributions in, my whole "appoint a few strangers and hope they've got time" idea is showing my lack of foresight and organisational skill. Unfortunately, that model has proven to be unworkable too. In an effort to fix this, I created the Paperless GitHub organisation, and brought on a few people to manage the issue and pull request load. It's been more than 5 years since I started this project on a whim as an effort to try to get a handle on the massive amount of paper I was dealing with in relation to various visa applications (expat life is complicated!) Since then, the project has exploded in popularity, so much so that it overwhelmed me and working on it stopped being "fun" and started becoming a serious source of stress.
