[Jamwiki-devel] JAMWiki End-of-Life

[Ryan H. <rya...@gm...>]

Hello,

The last JAMWiki release occurred more than a year and a half ago (March 
2013), and at this point I think it is appropriate to announce the 
end-of-life for the project.  It isn't right to continue a project when 
updates and fixes aren't being released.  Additionally, the primary 
purpose for JAMWiki when the project started nearly ten years ago was to 
provide a good Java wiki with many of the features of Mediawiki, but 
today Mediawiki is vastly easier to use and install, and Confluence 
provides a Java wiki meets the needs of those who want a Java wiki.

The code remains open source (LGPL), and is available to anyone who 
wants to use it provided they follow the attribution requirements.  If 
someone wants to take over ownership of the project we can discuss, 
although if that happens it would probably be better to fork and adopt a 
new name to avoid any confusion.  I'll leave the source repository 
intact on Sourceforge, and will likely continue to host jamwiki.org for 
a while so that documentation remains available, but at this point I do 
not have any plans for future releases.

Thank you to everyone who has used JAMWiki and helped with the project 
over the years - I've learned a lot and had a lot of fun developing it.
