Is the inactivity due to absence of bugs and no suggestions for
enhancements or no interest in fixing bugs or adding missing features?
If an organization still wanted to use it but wanted support, are there
individuals willing and able to provide support on a commercial basis?
What are the other projects and products that depend on Shindig doing in
light of the cessation of development?

Ichiro, while the project will move to the attic, it doesn't mean you can't
continue to use it. If it is stable enough as it is right now for you than
you should be able to continue to use it as is.

To add just one more voice to the chorus, I'm likewise very sad to hear of
the demise of what
seemed (until this notice) to be a functional and mature project. For the
past nine months I have
advocated replacing the four (!) existing (legacy) aviation and industry
delivery platforms of the
Meteorological Service of New Zealand (MetService) with a Liferay/Shindig
based site. Over the
past year we prototyped a replacement service and are currently awaiting
the next project
funding cycle. Having to go back to our executive management team and tell
them that the
basic architecture of our proposed service is somewhat embarrassing, and we
will likewise now
need to reevaluate and design a new solution. As the lead designer I have
been quite happy
with the Shindig/Open Social Gadget technology, and we had looked forward
to a robust
implementation cycle, replacing fifteen years of crufty service with a
shiny new Gadget-based
solution.
Sincere thanks to the development team for an excellent job, very sorry to
hear about it being
put into the Attic. There may have been inactivity in the dev side at
Apache but we were actively
using, and planning to use it for a substantial part of our online weather
delivery solution.

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. Thanks.
