+# HELP NEEDED
+
+Hi there!  I wrote `wait-for-it` in order to help me orchestrate containers I operate at my day job.  I thought it was a neat little script, so I published it.  I assumed I would be its only user, but that's not what happened!  `wait-for-it` has received more stars then all of my other public repositories put together.  I had no idea this tool would solict such an audience, and I was equally unprepared to carve out the time required to address my user's issues and patches.  I've been thinking a lot about how I want to handle this, and I've decided that I would like to solicit a volunteer from the community who would be willing to be a co-maintainer of this repository.  If this is something you might be interested in, please email me at `waitforit@polymerase.org`.  Thanks!

 `wait-for-it.sh` is a pure bash script that will wait on the availability of a host and TCP port.  It is useful for synchronizing the spin-up of interdependent services, such as linked docker containers.  Since it is a pure bash script, it does not have any external dependencies.

+I wrote this script for my employer, [Ginkgo Bioworks](http://www.ginkgobioworks.com/), who was kind enough to let me release it as an open source tool.  We are always looking to hire talented folks who are interested in working in the field of synthetic biology.
