    There’s also the projects that people think are dead because they haven’t seen any significant updates in some time. But in actuality there just hasn’t been any need to make changes. The code works, is mature, and feature complete. Unlike proprietary software there isn’t any pressure make changes for the sake of change to convince everyone they need to buy it over again, so once the code becomes stable development naturally will slow down.

    Ive seen this many MANY times. But I think people forget that most open source are passion projects.

    You are owed nothing at all when someone publishes their code on the internet. Thats what it is, its just an instruction manual to do a thing. Unless you pay something for the privilege of support, complaints will do next to nothing. Even now on lemmy/piefed/fedi.

      I didn’t realise Drupal is still around! I remember when they forked from Mambo and I had to convert a few sites across. That was probably 20 years ago now! this was Joomla - I misremembered
