Re: Taggit fragmentation

Open Letters scare me ... They remind me of the pseudo-beginning of
mainstream, non-free software :)

I'd say just do like Russ mentioned. Try to pull everything together
in one repository. Then when it's mature and you still want to take
over the project, contact the original author and see if he/she will
at least link to yours for future updates. It's not that bad of a
situation. At least the code is there, available, and the other people
who've forked the code are also sharing their changes. Just needs a
bit more work than "pip install awesome-app".
