Hi there, I have been using this python library up to now → [GitHub - brianhealey/pyamplipi: Python API for interacting with the AmpliPi Multizone Audio Controller](https://github.com/brianhealey/pyamplipi) Nicely done and works good. However it has not been updated since end May, and has outstanding pull requests since end August – All while amplipi itself has been releasing several upgrades including API updates that are thus not reflected in this library. I see @linknum23 (Lincoln) has made a fork too, but would it not be more appropriate to all collaborate via pull requests on a fork up at [MicroNova · GitHub](https://github.com/micro-nova) + have a more group-owned maintenance of the pypi registry to go along with that? Anyway. I am open to any suggestions and welcoming a constructive discussion on this? The current situation feels like I might be investing in a dead end? I also see the maintainer @bhealey (Brian) is on this platform as well, but has only been active for one day in May - same day of the lib release. I hope the direct mention pulls him in to share his own views on the matter. To be clear - I also am irregular in the time I can allocate to fiddling some further with my own amplipi projects - so this is not to point fingers, but just about finding a solution where we can nicely progress in a collaborative way without being held back by individual passing attention to keep up? Anyone with any thoughts on this? ---

Lets start by merging in your PRs. I was hoping Brian would review them, but admittedly I forgot about them. I have maintainer access as well, so I can test and merge those. If needed we can figure out how to migrate stewardship of the pypi releases. ---

One of the main issues here if that CI has not been setup on this repo. I added that as an [issue](https://github.com/brianhealey/pyamplipi/issues/12), hopefully we can make this process easier in the future… ---

I am working with @linknum23 to make sure that Micronova has control of the CI pipeline and pypi repo. I apologize for any inconvenience. ☹ ---

On PyPi `pyamplipi` is now owned by us so we should be able to easily keep it updated with every new release. Thanks guys! ---

No apologies needed - highly appreciate you kicking this off as you did. And thx for the swift resolution too.
