Hi, Thank you, Lewis, for initiating this discussion, and Kevin, for sharing your thoughts. I agree that project activity has been low, and like many of us, I haven’t been able to contribute as much as I would have liked.
Gora has been a great place for me to learn and grow, as well as an opportunity to meet and collaborate with amazing people. If there’s enough interest and commitment to maintaining the project, we should explore ways to revitalize activity. However, I believe activity has significantly declined, and we should consider moving it to the Attic.
