Hi all, I'd suggest dropping all languages that don't have an active maintainer and go for 0.14 after that. Perhaps we can post here and publish a call for maintainers on the Github README and wait 2-4 weeks. Any language without at least 1 volunteer would be dropped. How does that sound?
As for documentation, I've replied to INFRA's email with my previous work on the new website + docs, but they never got back to me. I'll ping them again and see what happens.
