No updates since 3 years?

Is this project dead?

JOduMonT commented 3 years ago

based on ticket with the same question opened before and still open aka [277]3(https://github.com/eudicots/Cactus/issues/277) and even older 270

I think you should look at something like Pelican or Lektor instead

I have no clue how to communicate this message ("I think you should look at something like Pelican or Lektor instead") to the users.

Sorry I don't understand; I simply refer you to similar project (static website generator) which are also developed with python.

This was a joke. If I am the third person which asks about the status, then it might make sense to tell the world wide audience at the top of the README the current state of the project.

If a project hasn't been updated in three years, where exactly do you get the expectation that they can or will update the readme? I'd like to remind you Cactus was open source software and not a commercial product, and as such its resources for development and maintenance are very different.

That said, since its open source software, here's how you do it: Modify the README yourself and then submit a pull request with the change. Best case scenario the change is accepted and you get what you want. Worst case scenario is your pull request sits there forever but everyone still sees it and your notes.

@negatendo I followed your advice and created a pull request to update the README: https://github.com/eudicots/Cactus/pull/282

you not, joke are often related to our sense of humor and contextual and very hard to translate through the WorldWildWeb :)

guettli commented 3 years ago

you are right. I close this.

JOduMonT commented 3 years ago

Are you talking to me ? I'm think I'm more left ;)

but in any case you should not case this issue since your PR as been rejected by the CI.
