@derek-schaefer could you share some update on status of this project? was it abandoned?

[EyePulp]

@qrilka You may know this already -- django 1.9 has a built-in JSON field for postgres (9.4+ w/ jsonb) -- it has very similar mechanics to this project. I've been using it in production with good results and am starting to migrate existing fields to the built-in field. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/ref/contrib/postgres/fields/#django.contrib.postgres.fields.JSONField

As for this project I don't know its status, sorry. =)

I wish we were using postgres, thanks for the info @EyePulp

[derek-schaefer]

@qrilka Unfortunately yes I'd say this project can be considered abandoned. I created it to fulfill a personal use case however I haven't used Django or Python for web development in quite some time so my motivation and skills for maintaining this project have waned. Finding new maintainers would be great and I'll update the documentation to that effect.

If so then one possible solution could be to move the project to https://jazzband.co/ but unfortunately I don't have enough time in near future to do that :(
