[sysrepo-devel] announcement regarding sysrepo current status

[Mikael Abrahamsson]

Hello!

As some might have noticed, during February there has been less activity in 
parts of Sysrepo, especially the Sysrepo datastore itself. This is because some 
people who used to be very active developers in the project, are currently not 
actively participating in Sysrepo development.

The rest of us are looking into the situation and we're trying to find a way 
forward for development and maintenance of Sysrepo suite to continue. One of 
the first and most important tasks would be to make sure we have a stable 
version of the entire suite with all refactoring done for changes in component 
libraries done in the past 1-2 months.

This would be a great time for others to step up and voluneer developer time 
for Sysrepo. We still believe Sysrepo has an important role to play as a FOSS 
component for Netconf/YANG enabled devices/processes. However, so far we have 
relied on a few companies to provide the majority of developer time for the 
work that needs to be done.

I hope to have more information in a few weeks. In the meanwhile, please be 
patient as issues will take longer to be resolved than before.

Thanks.
