Please adopt my plugins?

About a year and a half ago, I was working on a Discourse instance for the company that I worked for, and in the process developed a couple of plugins that others have come to appreciate. Unfortunately, I’m no longer administering Discourse myself, so I have little interest in maintaining these plugins.

  1. Webhooks - https://github.com/rcfox/Discourse-Webhooks
    I’ve received 18 stars on GitHub and several messages of thanks for this. I’m not sure if it still works, but no one has complained to me about it.
    Update: I guess this plugin will soon be obsolete, so nevermind it.

  2. LinkedIn Sharing Button - https://github.com/rcfox/Discourse-LinkedIn-Sharing-Button
    I received an issue today that this has stopped working. It looks like there’s a new plugin API and I no longer have access to the Sharing object? (Now it looks like I’d have to go and generate HTML+handlers myself for this button? That seems like a giant step back from calling Sharing.addSource.)

I’d hate for this functionality to just die, so if anyone wants to take over these projects, I’d be happy to have my repositories redirect people towards yours.

This is true so the only one that needs adoption is the LinkedIn one.

The theme component to add an extra social button is now ready, even for Linkedin
