<FromGitter> <elorest> @Sija Yeah I'll work on that and at least make sure that we have enough time to solve bugs and keep the project working, documented and tested.
<FromGitter> <elorest> @robacarp ⏎ ⏎ > To be clear, unless financial support reaches enough to hire a dev at least half time, I don’t think financial support is sufficient. ⏎ ⏎ That's more that crystal is currently getting. As long as it's stable and works I don't think we need to do anything crazy. Everyone has a feature that they want but a lot of them come at the cost of speed, usability, or complexity. Not to say we
<FromGitter> ... shouldn't entertain those but I don't think at this point we need to have someone working 20 hours every week just to keep it usable. [https://gitter.im/amberframework/amber?at=5b81e3b360f9ee7aa48fded0]
<FromGitter> <robacarp> What I mean is, if no one else is assisting. Crystal has a full time dev, plus some, and a big and active community.
<FromGitter> <elorest> Ok.
<FromGitter> <elorest> What I'm saying is that amber is usable and doesn't need to change a ton to stay useful. In fact changing it a lot could actually be negative to people who are already using it or no the code base. ⏎ ⏎ We do definitely need to be more responsive in fixing issues and keeping releases up today with crystal versions.
<FromGitter> <elorest> Not saying we shouldn't improve it.
<FromGitter> <robacarp> Just so we are all on the same page, I’m not at all angry with the situation. I just don’t want amber to fade into oblivion on accident because nobody knew it was fading. I’d rather drum up some interest or shut the lights off intentionally. (The former would be my preference)
<FromGitter> <elorest> I agree, but as a developer over the last 15 years I've used many libraries that hadn't been maintained for years that still worked fine and I'm glad they existed even if I had to fix a few bugs to make it useful again.
<FromGitter> <drujensen> we should avoid adding features that require alot of maintenance for that very reason. ;-)
<FromGitter> <elorest> So personally I'll try harder to keep things working but I don't really think there's anything to be gained by taking the project down and deleting the repos or something. Especially with a lot of projects using the dependancies.
<FromGitter> <elorest> Exactly.
