 # Ransack
 
-### Maintainer Wanted
-
-A note from [Sean](https://github.com/seanfcarroll).
-Ransack is a fantastic gem, and a key part of many Rails projects. It is also a core component of [ActiveAdmin](https://github.com/activeadmin/activeadmin) and generally a great way to add fairly complex search and filtering without having to resort to external services, such as Elasticsearch.
-
-In my humble opinion, Ransack can be much more, if it does a bit less. What I mean is that the API vector of Ransack is quite large, and really has been issue-driven. There are complications with Polymorphic relations, complex joins and MongoDB. It's not clear sometimes if there is a bug or not.
-
-I was hoping to lead Ransack to version 2.0, and in my opinion this would have included:
-
-- Absorbing Polyamorous
-- Splitting MongoDB support into a seperate gem
-- Dropping support for older Rails versions; strictly follow the [Rails support policy](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/maintenance_policy.html). This is important as the codebase is littered with code for de-supported Rails versions
-- Add a generator to build in Ransack with a scaffold
-- Generate tests for Ransack-enabled applications
-- Update the Wiki / docs with lots of examples of 'how-to', questions are the majority of issues on Ransack
-- Increase supported translations
-
-Unfortunately I am quite occupied at present with several projects, including [crowdAI](https://github.com/crowdAI/crowdai), and I will need to step down as a maintainer. I have also posted it [here](https://github.com/pickhardt/maintainers-wanted).

-If you want to step up, please contact me on gmail as **sfcarroll**

 ## Mongoid
 
-Mongoid support has been moved to its own gem at [ransack-mongoid](github.com/activerecord-hackery/ransack-mongoid).
+Mongoid support has been moved to its own gem at [ransack-mongoid](https://github.com/activerecord-hackery/ransack-mongoid).
 Ransack works with Mongoid in the same way as Active Record, except that with
 Mongoid, associations are not currently supported. Demo source code may be found
 [here](https://github.com/Zhomart/ransack-mongodb-demo). A `result` method
