Hello community,

I like the framework and our team uses it in one of the production modules, but we're noticing that most fresh questions in this forum are simply not even answered and development on GitHub does not show any activity.

Is this project even active? What are the plans for future releases? It is really important to understand the state of the project when we use it for production environment.

Thanks.

Not as active as we would like, but not dying. We just merged a bunch of PRs yesterday. Not a lot of people use these forums though.

Me as well. Is it happening more on GitHub?

It's pretty active, We did a 2.5.2 release a week ago the contained an important security fix and we plan to release 2.5.3 this week. However, the forum is somewhat not as active as we want. The Spark team (which is basically me and David) don't have the bandwith to both maintain the project and be active in all forum threads and were hoping that the community would be active enough to "handle that".

Perhaps Google Groups is not the correct forum. Github is primarily for posting issues and feature requests (and Pull requests).

Ideas are welcome, maybe slack is a good idea. Maybe something else.

Cheers,

Per

Hi

perhaps you can create a sister repository to handle the discussion, some tips, ... issues are very useful for that. You stay in the GitHub application, it's easy to switch to SparkJava repository, etc...

I would suggest to have at least on this group the announcements and changelog for any new release. I wasn't aware of 2.5.2 until I stumbled on it by accident (before your email).
