Hi, I just noticed this mail and would very much regret to see VXQuery being moved to attic. Am I mistaken in thinking that by moving this project to attic that we are saying that the project has reached its end of life? I think there would be much use cases where VXQuery can be useful in. Could it be that the project lacks sufficient publicity among software developers? Is there a way we can change it if possible?
