Hi Pascal, First, my heartfelt thanks for all of the effort you have put into the community over the years. We might not say it that often, but we really do appreciate you!

Part of this is that a few people (Anjo, Mike) were the most frequent contributors before. Not everyone can sustain their level of output! Another part is, what more do you want? I am not aware of any large holes. Perhaps it is now complete enough that people can just focus on building business value? >- I was thinking that having a session about using Cayenne with WO would be a >great way to modernize WO, and hence generate interest, and looks like I was >wrong, or else we would have more people at WOWODC, not less. > I was surprised at that too. >- At WOWODC 2014, we asked if people were using the master branch of Wonder, >and the vast majority said they are using their own fork. So why should we >keep Jenkins if most of you use their own forks? I’d probably use my own fork too. Not all changes are appropriate for Master. And I could tag my own internal releases to match my project releases. As long as people are updating from master and sending PRs when then have changes, this seems appropriate for git usage.
