Is this under active development? #4

Open tjmoore opened 4 years ago

tjmoore commented 4 years ago

There are not a lot of commits since 2017 and just seems to be related to README.md

Is this project actively being developed / supported or is it considered dead?

I'm also looking for documentation that describes the classes and methods. While the Code Project documentation is extensive in examples I'm struggling to work out what a lot of the methods actually do.

Was wondering the same, we use it quite heavily, and was wondering if anything will happen to it in the future.

Was thinking of forking... Would be good to know from @Giannoudis what the future of this Lib is...

Giannoudis commented 4 years ago

@Jetski5822 Thanks for your request. No, I don't do further working on this repository. Your are welcome to continue my work.

Has anybody forked this repos in the meanwhile? Is there a fork which is under active development? @tjmoore @Jetski5822

Or would be NodaTime the better alternative?

I think this is a pretty good library, maybe @Giannoudis can pass the torch to new maintainers? So we don't have a forking hell

Porting this to .NET Standard 2.X or the upcoming .NET 5 would be very interesting.

PatrickRainer commented 4 years ago

@Jossec101 I agree.

A port to .Net standard and .Net Core I did already try locally. Did just work fine.

Giannoudis commented 4 years ago

For professional reasons I unfortunately do not have the time to continue to maintain this library. It would be great if someone would continue my work. I would be happy to support the future owners as much as possible.

PatrickRainer commented 4 years ago

I would definitely contribute to this this repository. It fit's very good to my current project.

But I feel not experienced enough to approve pull requests. Is there somebody, who would like to do it?
