R.I.P. Grav CMS (it's Alive!)

Unfortunately the Grav core team is down to just me. mahagr drifted away during Covid due to health issues, and w00fz is not around much any more.

Competing opensoure CMS projects are supported by dozens of volunteers distributed into multiple teams.

What we really need to is some volunteers to help with day-to-day help with bugs, security reports, ability to review, test, and merge pull requests, and ideally some development help to work on core features and new versions. Also help with other things like communications/social/marketing, design help or general help to work on the updated website stuff etc. Also the documentation could always use some help and improvement.

in short… HELP!!! :slight_smile:

This project is really too big for me alone to do all these jobs while still working to earn a living.

I’m going to construct a blog post and probably link to it in the regular support channels (github/discord/discourse), summarizing the need for help with the project in order to ensure Grav can continue and grow.

In short open source is hard, and it gets harder the more successful a project becomes. There’s no monetary benefits, and lots of work, but it can be rewarding to help people and develop cool software that is used all over the world.
