How much is too much?

So, university has started again. We have to pick “broadening courses”, I chose economy courses (macroeconomics and operational research). In this semester, I’ve got 6 courses, all of which — except for one — come with their own project. The one that doesn’t have a project (macroeconomics) overlaps with other courses, because it’s a trimester course. Painful.

I’m also trying to convince my professors to be able to do my bachelor thesis on Drupal. By that I mean: develop something that can make Drupal shine in a certain area. (More on that in a later blog post!) That costs its fair share of time as well

So — I’m extremely busy for school; pulling late-nighters 7/7.

Next, I’m involved in too many projects outside of school: maintaining my Drupal modules (or at least trying to), table tennis, working for Mollom, working in the local AIESEC committee, maintaining DriverPacks.net, and more.

How much is too much? Well, this is too much for me. In reality, I’ve pretty much only been able to work on school stuff the past 3 weeks. So … to create some breathing room for me again, and because I haven’t been able to maintain them anyway, I’m giving the following modules away for adoption:

• Carousel, supposed to become the single module for all carousel-goodness (which means it will include the jCarousel and Carousel panel style modules). Me, nor any of my comaintainers have had the time to really push this forward. Porting to Drupal 6 is super easy, patches are already in the issue queue.
• Carousel panel style, title says it all. Not much work to maintain.
• jCarousel, the jQuery plugin that makes creating carousels easy.
• Money CCK Field, title says it all, supports all known currencies and advanced formatting. Not much work to maintain. Needs to be ported to CCK 2 (Drupal 6).
• Tabs panel style, title says it all. Not much work to maintain.
• Views Saved Searches, needs a couple minor features and needs to be ported to Views 2 (Drupal 6).

This means I’m giving up all my modules for adoption, except for AHAH Helper, CDN Integration and Hierarchical Select.
Let me know via the comments, my contact page or the issue queue if you’d like to become the maintainer of either of those modules.

Finally, I’ve upgraded my site a bit — which allowed me to provide you with a demo of Hierarchical Select 3! If you plan to use it, or have postponed trying it, you can do so now very easily!
