Today we released the 1.0.0 version of [django-background-tasks](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-background-tasks) which is an adopted and adapted version of the outdated and unmaintained [django-background-task](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-background-task) repository from John Montgomery.

To avoid conflicts on PyPI we renamed the package to django-background-tasks (plural). For an easy upgrade/migration from django-background-task to django-background-tasks, the internal module structure were extened but the API left untouched.

The new package has a full Django compatibility from version 1.4 LTS up to the new 1.8 LTS (Python 2 + 3) through [django-compat](https://github.com/arteria/django-compat). All relevant Pull Requests from the original repo where merged and new features added.

Please feel free to file any issues on the [Github project page](https://github.com/arteria/django-background-tasks) or contribute in any other way.




I see a communication glitch happened. There was a mention of creating a new organization and an offer to join, but the issue was closed simultaneously - meaning perhaps you never saw it. This seems like a surprise to you.

@philippeowagner: I think it'd be appropriate to see you both share and organization if you both intend to participate. If I was lilspikey, I'd feel my project was hijacked.

I assume good faith in you Philippe, but I don't think lilspikey knew your intentions since the issue was closed.


Hey - outdated and unmaintained seems a little harsh!

Not quite sure why you couldn't have submitted a pull-request for this...
