In bhaskarvk/leaflet.esri: 'ESRI' Bindings for the 'leaflet' Package

Project needs a new home.

Thank you all of you who have used this package and have contributed code/bugs/enhancements over the years. As you may have noticed I haven't been able to make any contributions to this project and others in the last two years. I was hoping to get back to developing/maintaining this package on a regular basis but my current work-life balance does not allow it and I don't see that situation changing anytime soon.

So here is my humble request to the R geospatial community, if anyone wants to take over this project and maintain/develop it for the greater good, I will be more than happy to transfer the project over to your repo. Send me an email at bhaskarvk AT . Same offer holds of any of my other R packages that you might be interested in taking over.

Please note that the javascripts being used in the current version are all almost 2 years old and counting and contain various security vulnerabilities. So I don't recommend anyone use this package anymore unless it is taken over and brought up to date by someone else. Until that happens please consider this project as abandonware.

ESRI bindings for the leaflet package, based on the ESRI leaflet plugin. This package is part of the leaflet ecosystem of R packages for web mapping.
