Notes:

• Commit Activity: No commits in the last 6 months, with the last commit 278 days ago.
• Contributors: 1 contributor in the last 3 months, down from 2 in the previous 3 months.
• Issues/PRs: Minimal activity, with no issues closed and 16 PRs closed in the last 3 months.
• Releases: Last release was on 03/26/2023.
• Health: Struggling. While there was some PR activity, the lack of recent commits and declining contributor activity suggest the project is struggling.

[kebe7jun]

We apologize for the recent inactivity on the Merbridge project. This was due to challenges in time allocation and limited user feedback, which slowed our progress. However, we firmly believe in the value of this project and are committed to revitalizing our efforts.

Future Plans:

• Adaptation to New Service Mesh Versions: We plan to ensure compatibility with the latest service mesh technologies, particularly Istio’s ambient mode, which reached General Availability in version 1.24. 
• Dependency Updates: Regular updates to project dependencies will be conducted to maintain functionality and stability.
• Enhanced Community Engagement: We aim to actively seek and incorporate user feedback, encouraging more developers to contribute and collaborate.
• TBD.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We are dedicated to delivering a more active and valuable project experience moving forward.

@kebe7jun Any updates?

[angellk]

@kebe7jun does the project have a timeline for enhancements and revival?

Also, if a project is archived, it may re-apply for Sandbox at a later time when the project is ready to be revived. Alternatively, the project may approach a similar project to merge or apply as a subproject.

[kebe7jun]

Sorry for the late reply.
If you try hard but lack motivation, maybe archive for now is a good option.
