Explore on merging efforts for Owl Carousel modules

I am one of the maintainers of the original Owl Carousel module: https://www.drupal.org/project/owlcarousel

We already use V2 of the library there is no need for another module.

If you want to modify the admin interface or something like that why not do it in a new branch for the original module.

This will create a lot of confusion I already saw people on Slack asking about this.

The Drupal policy is to collaborate.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.

    While I agree here and hope the maintainer will merge efforts with you, which would embrace the community at its best, so I would like to ask you (the issue reporter @ipwa or any other maintainer of the owlcarousel module) to also follow Drupal policies by being kind and respectful to each other. The original report does not sound very friendly and I would kindly ask you to change the "tone" of your request. Every contribution to the community is appreciated and so is this too.

    Apart from that, the Drupal license of D.O. hosted projects allows to fork and merge, so, anybody who wants can merge efforts made here to another project (with credits of course).

    And: please do not misuse the issue priority for your needs. Descriptions of the Priority and Status values can be found in the Drupal project issues documentation.

    Apart from what I suggested above, there needs also new response from the original reporter here, since I have seen that his claim isn't actually up-to-date no more, because the project page of the owlcarousel module he refers to states:

    Replaced by:
    Tiny Slider 2

    So in fact there is actually -NO- actively maintained OwlCarousel module yet on Drupal.org

    Also it would be great if both groups of maintainers could agree on one library path and not 2 different paths and library versions to prevent load. This would be one of the advantages on colaborating.
