Hello, Like I mentioned earlier, we encourage anybody interested in maintaining the project to create a fork and announce it here.
Kind regards, Francesco From: Phyo Arkar <[email protected]> Date: Saturday, 25 February 2017 at 23.00 To: Francesco Balestrieri <[email protected]>, Daniel Neveux <[email protected]> Cc: Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>, "<crosswalk-dev@lists. org>" <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Crosswalk-help] Crosswalk 23 to be our last release Without allowing write access to anyone of the community , you are just kiilling the project totally.

(Please we need you) - Can community fund the build bots to keep it rolling ? Why crosswalk is very important for us: - People rarely update their packages in many thirdworld countries , and that is true in many western countries with expensive 3G data usages and 3G data limits. Thus , webviews are outdated. - Many Chinese phone with custom roms are still in android 4.x.x - Serviceworkers are not supported in webviews and it is becoming popular .

Like I said in my original message, the Open Source Technology Center Web Technology team at Intel that used to work on Crosswalk is now focusing on other projects (including the Chromium and Blink projects themselves). As for some specific comments made in this thread: * Issues are now enabled on the Crosswalk and Cordova Crosswalk WebView repositories (https://github.com/crosswalk-project/crosswalk and https://github.com/crosswalk-project/cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview). JIRA will soon be set to read-only. * About the 1000+ bugs still in JIRA, as you can probably understand it would be quite an undertaking to migrate them all to GitHub. Moreover, some of those issues are not relevant anymore. We appreciate your help in copying those that matter to you. Similarly, we still have some GitHub issues that date back to when we started the project and didn’t use JIRA that are likely very outdated. * The existing bots doing checks on pull requests and commits, as well as those making official releases will still be around for a while (likely a month or two). * Most importantly, we actively encourage the community around the Crosswalk Project to fork and maintain it if there’s an active desire to continue its development. We have documented the procedures to buld [1] and rebase [2] Crosswalk, and some of us will be around on a best-effort basis to answer questions or review patches. We will however not work on new features, do QA or publish new releases.

When Intel started the Crosswalk Project in 2013, our goal was to bring the full power of the web platform to mobile and desktop application developers. Since then, the environment has evolved and Progressive Web Apps bring the power of native apps to pure web applications. Now, the Android platform Webview shares code and features with the Chrome browser and is kept up-to-date, while Electron and Intel’s NW.JS support most desktop developers. As a result, we believe Crosswalk has done its job and we can make a bigger impact focusing on other areas of the web platform. Crosswalk 23 is our last stable release. After that we will no longer fix specific bugs but will leave the source code and binaries available for Crosswalk users to continue building applications. We welcome help from the Crosswalk community and would not discourage anybody willing to maintain the project. We value your contributions and involvement with Crosswalk. The Open Source Technology Center Web Technology team at Intel will continue to drive adoption of new web technologies in new areas, and we look forward to introducing new projects that will drive the web platform forward.
