πŸ‘‹πŸ» The current maintainers of quil no longer have time to look after it, which is why it’s been stalled at pre-4.0 for a couple of years. Would anyone here be interested in helping to keep it alive?

Okay, it looks like @dgtized and I will be getting the current version fixed up and published and trying to do some maintenance going forward. I’m guessing it’ll be a few weeks before we get things in a good state, but we’ll announce it here when we do.

Unfortunately I can't volunteer to help directly with a revival of development and support of Quil, but in case it helps anyone to know this I would be absolutely overjoyed if this were to happen! And I would be truly delighted to try things out and report on issues.

Hi, I've been an on-and-off user of quil for hobby projects for a while and would be interested in lending a hand keeping it going.

@schmalz we’ve made good progress on getting a new build out, and we hope to have everything a bit more streamlined over the next 8-12 weeks. We’ll circle back around to train additional maintainers at that point πŸ™‚

This is great news - I saw your announcement of the latest version; can't wait to try it πŸ™‚ .

I would be game for that.

@dgtized I’m more interested in the JVM clojure side, so it would be great to have someone else look after the cljs parts.

I'm somewhat interested in helping out. Though mostly I have focused on the cljs side wrapping p5js, so less familiar with the jvm/processing side of things.

as in, helping take over maintenance of quil?
