**REPOSTING THIS HERE FROM PRIVATE@** Hi All, After debating this in my own head for some time, I thought I would bring it to our private@ list in the hope of invoking discussion about our community.
I am optimistic that the Any23 community is not dead, that I am not banging my head off of a brick wall, and that we can build and push more releases in the process. I would also however like to consider myself a realist. Meaning that if the above is not possible then that needs to be recognized and acknowledged. The last while (move to Git resulting in the partial stagnation of the codebase, broken builds, etc.) has been a difficult one for Any23, however that is not to say that we can't turn it around. I stepped up to take on release manager role as I thought it beneficial for us to push a software release... this however does not seem to be gaining as much traction as I would have liked. We currently have one VOTE (my own) and one detailed analysis and comment from Andy. I am continually learning lessons of how to build community, but I can't do it on my own. I am asking that we (as a community and project) make a decision as to where we want to go, what we want the community to look like, and generally what is going to happen with Any23? Until now I've never uttered the words "Apache" and "Attic" in the same sentence on a project mailing list that I'm involved in, however I think it is also appropriate to mention that this is an option for Any23 should there not be interest to keep it going. I state this as a very very last resort and would personally really hate to see Any23 go there. Thanks Lewis
