Is anyone actively maintaining Exposed at this point? Would like to understand (given there are a number of issues and PRs pending)

[Andrew O'Hara]

They're looking to hire someone full time to support it through 1.0. The original maintainer just doesn't have enough time to support it anymore.

I see. I understand it is a JetBrains Team project and not officially supported so it might not be prioritised that much either 😞

Hope they find someone soon

Hadi says it's going to become official; but clearly that's contingent upon finding a new maintainer. They're keen on finding a database expert, fluent in several databases, which may limit their options somewhat.

What is the status of this? Is the project on hold until a full-time developer is found? At the moment it seams there is no clear responsible person. I run Exposed in production and need to evaluate if waiting is an option or switch the framework, because no clear future.

[Dantin Kakkar]

Pretty much in the same boat here, want to understand if it will get a maintainer soon. 😞

@hhariri might know I’m guessing.

For me we ware planing with 100k and more user soon, so it is a critical question if I can go with Exposed or start a migration now with less effort.

[hhariri]

Yes. 100% committed. Sorry but hiring process is not easy, but we’re happy to say that we’ve have two additional developers starting soon, and we’ll be working on many aspects including docs, site, release schedule, etc.

That sounds good 😊 I love working with Exposed and would keep doing it
