Dear All, This is very sad news indeed. Apache Shindig is at the core of several of our very popular sites - we consider it a mature product that does exactly what it should, and does it very well indeed. Perhaps that's partly the reason for the lack of user support requests!
You, the dev team, kindly helped us resolve a number of issues back in 2014 and we've never looked back since - we love Apache Shindig! Thank you for all your commitment, love, sweat and tears developing the project - we truly value what you have created and will continue its use well into the future. Kind regards, Darren -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Baxter [mailto:rbaxte...@apache.org] Sent: 07 October 2015 19:32 To: dev@shindig.apache.org Subject: Fwd: Terminate the Apache Shindig Project Hi fellow Shindig Devs, I would like to let you all know that the Shindig PMC has voted to terminate the Shindig project and move it to the attic. I have already informed the Apache board about the termination in this months board report (below). As most of you have probably noticed we have seen a decline in participation in all aspects of the project over the past months and the downward trend has been happening for over a year now. This can certainly be seen in our reports to the board [1]. If anyone has any questions please let me know, and I will be sure to keep everyone up to date as we transition the project to the attic.
