I've always assumed when projects go under the Apache.org umbrella, that is where they go to die.
- gtk40 4y agoShould I not be using Kafka? Or CouchDB? I guess we shouldn't using log4j at this point though...
- encryptluks2 4y agoI mean yes of course use what works for now, but I think eventually those will die off too. As with most things, Apache projects tend to be bloated Java apps that end up being phased out by more trendy and more performant apps built in Go/Rust.
- mrweasel 4y agoThat does seem to depend on why/how it ends up at Apache. Something like OpenOffice, or the myriad of Java projects, which have just been throw in under the umbrella is more or less abandoned. There seems to be some misconception that Apache has a number of developers sitting ready, or a ton of money to hire developers to take on any random project. Projects under Apache really only works when the developers are involved and follow the project. At this point I'm a little unsure what The Apache Foundation provides, beyond hosting and some legal support.
