Re: [Jamwiki-devel] JAMWiki End-of-Life

[Charles C. <cha...@bl...>]

Hello Ryan

I guess that this was not an easy decision to take. I am still very fond 
of the JAMWiki software and still use it for my homepage 
(http://www.schmiedewerkstatt.ch). Unfortunately I am still not in the 
position to contribute and even less to take over. Apart from the 
contributions that I made my knowledge of the system as a whole is too 
small. Of course, if there will be somebody taking ownership I would be 
interested in keeping tuned. My situation may change in the future in 
terms of contribution time.

MediaWiki is PHP and although quite mature a bit a question of taste, if 
one uses it or not. Confluence, as far as I could see in a quick search 
is commercial software. So in my case, it would not even make it into 
the narrow list of candidates for the choice of a Wiki software.

I'd like to thank you anyway for all the effort that you have put into 
the project and I hope that everything is ok.
I wish you a good time.
Bye
Charles
