Hi @llvtt , @AayushU , @stedile , @ShaneHarvey . Since you are the most active contributors of this project, I want to being you guys to this discussion. I have several questions:

Thank you for your work, and time spent on this project! Would love to see it being kept alive. I want to contribute, how should I?

Hi @valera-rozuvan, all the people you tagged no longer work on mongo-connector. @jaraco is the current maintainer.

what's the best approach to sync MongoDB and ElasticSearch these days, if not mongo-connector?

You may be interested in MongoDB Atlas Search. This is a full-text search engine built directly into MongoDB Atlas which removes the need to replicate your data elsewhere. With Atlas Search, you don’t need to set up, maintain, and scale a separate search platform at all and you can perform rich text search directly in MongoDB with the $search aggregation pipeline stage. Here's a link to the tutorial: https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/reference/atlas-search/tutorial/

Thanks valera-rozuvan for filing this ticket. It was the right thing to do.

Unfortunately, I'm no longer with the companies where I've used MongoDB extensively, so I may have to defer to @lbolla who may be able to rally resources at yougov for support.

If there's no help there, I can be of help incidentally, but I'll need at least one partner, someone with experience with mongo connector and interest in helping support the project, to help triage tickets, review pull requests, and possibly make original contributions.

That said, I'll make an effort to work through the pending pull requests and make a new release out of acceptable contributions.
