State of Project and .Net5.0 support #184

Open JPVenson opened 3 years ago

JPVenson commented 3 years ago

Hey,

As a Preamble I want to clarify that well aware of the huge amount of time it takes to maintain a large open source project and that this for (most of us) all done in our Freetime and nobody has any rights or otherwise to pressure you (author, maintainers) to do anything on the project.

But, I followed this project some time now and I wonder if the current Maintainers are still willing to support this project. There are a large number of open issues and the documentation is very outdated (having still references to codeplex while codeplex will shutdown completely in 3 months).

I would kindly know if the current maintains are able/willing to continue support this project. Is there any "roadmap" to implement support for the ongoing tech stack?

I've just discovered this project, and was quite excited to find it, because it looks like it could be a great alternative to the ancient WPF WebBroswer control. That is until I saw the large number of open issues and pull requests from quite some time ago.

So I'd also like to know if this project will be maintained going forward before invest time into integrating it into my project(s).

Thanks!

Edit:

Ooops, I just saw 'Looking for a contributor(s) to take this project forward as I'm unable to continue supporting it.'. Sorry about that.

@JPVenson You can find the documentation here There should be all links fixed, but i agree, the README.md has still references to codeplex.

Also keep in mind (as @yannduran mentioned) that the readme clearly states, for over 5 years now, that Arthur is looking for contributors/maintainers that are willingly to take over as he is unable to maintain it.
