Description
I'm thinking about opening this issues for many month now. Today the time has come:
This is the beginning of the end of vis as we know it - and hopefully a new beginning.
Current status
- There are still a lot of issues opened every week and even more issues are still open.
- vis has currently no real maintainer. I and some other people still have admin-access but nobody has the time to review pull-requests, commend on Issues or fix bugs.
- almende, the company that created vis is no more willing to spend any time or money on this project.
This project can not go on like this!
Future steps
- We, the current maintainers of this project have decided to archive this project what makes the project read-only. This means that no more issues or pull-requests can be created. The source-code and all releases are still available.
- We want to invest one last boost of energy to merge as many pull-requests as possible/usefull and seperate the library in multiple components (network, timeline, grahp3d ...). This new libraries will find a new home in the already existent visjs community account. You can open new issues and pull-requests there, after we've moved.
- We will try to move the existing open-collective to this new community to give every collaborator a chance to be reimbursed by the community.
- We invite everybody interesting in supporting this project to start helping maintaining the seperate projects. It depends on you guys to give these new projects a new life by improving the code base and maintaining the new modules. In future, hopefully, this will become much easier as the projects are much smaller and more manageable.
This is propably going to happen in March 2019.
vis.js is dead, long like visjs!
