Edit - NF - This conversation stated in the middle of a thread about a Goggle Mapping mod that had been abandoned but made more sense to spin it off into a new thread.

So I'll bring up some questions that I've been wondering about for a while in regard to site owners.
We all use add-ons from
vB.org.
1) Why is it that authors abandon their mods?
2) Since our sites become dependent on these mods is there anything that can be done to either keep the authors engaged or provide a means to have the code live on short of having to maintain it ourselves?
