Amichai Rothman commented on JAMES-902:
---------------------------------------
Speaking for myself, I can't exactly say that I'm interested in more releases
and features from a codebase with no active developers, targeted at Java 1.4
(won't even compile on 6), with chunks of the project's wiki (task-related
pages) last updated 4 years ago, based on some framework projects that have
been discontinued years ago... at least that's the impression the project is
making in the past couple of years - that it is a dying one.
But, I wouldn't want to abandon it either. As a user, the alternatives are
either the above, or a trunk 3.0 version whose status, progress and future is
not quite clear either. Perhaps it's time for a proper alternative? Perhaps an
alpha/beta of 3, with a fresh feeling of liveliness? Something to show a clear
sign of activity and progress? cleaning up the wiki from ancient roadmaps and
plans which have been abandoned long ago? I think that feeling of freshness
would make it much easier to contribute than the current uninviting feeling of
gloom... I contribute to several projects in my spare time, and this one
somehow always gets pushed to the bottom of the list because of that feeling of
'who knows if it's not already dead? Are there more than a dozen users still
using it? haven't seen any movement there in too long... why bother?'
...is it just me?
