What is the long-term support vision for this project? #157

Will the project ever be moved to an organization dedicated to maintaining it and doing bug fixes? What is the long-term vision for it?

I really like the goals but it looks like it needs to gather a more robust community around it...

well, this is quite a one-man-show. i have been watching this project since the beginning but it seems travis has no time for it anymore. the good news is that by the looks of it, it is not far from 1.0 so any company could take ownership by forking it, finishing it and continuing developing it - especially once they become a real users. so yeah, the possibility of good PR and visibility in OS world is there for anyone interested. I would imagine a small company forced to use kafka but is tired of its complexity and is looking for something less resource-heavy.

One thing to note is that, as of now, Jocko does not work on Windows due to #92
