The developer of the Links and Downloads Manager, Andrew, has passed away after a long period of illness.

I did not know him, did not follow the project until very recently but I think it could be appropriate if admins here would update his personal page, the project page etc to reflect the situation. After all, it seems he has been a very devoted developer with 3500 posts and a very well kept mod.

Yep. This is confirmed. Sad too.

i'll be in discussion with his company to see if i can handle a takeover of his work ... which can not be abandonned right away... and to respect his mind as well...

was a great friend of mine, if you do not know...

He wasn't someone I knew well but from my few interactions with him and his code here he was someone I deeply respected.

Rest in peace Andrew

Thanks for all the kindness of spirit and generosity of soul you showed us all here.

Yes, we are aware of this. I'll discuss updating his profile with the other staff.

The LDM is actually marked as Reusable code, so our rules allow someone to release updated versions.

Alfa1 posted in the 3.8/4.0 modifications thread.

It's a shame for such a talented and well respected modification author to pass away. I will probably try out the LDM on my forums eventually. Good luck to whoever takes up the project, and sad condolences to his parents.
