It pains us greatly to do so, but each team member has at this point moved on to other responsibilities. We simply no longer have the resources to advance Netalyzr or to provide reasonable support for your many questions about connectivity problems. Our Android app users will receive a final update during this time that'll make it clear when the testing functionality has gone offline. To everyone who has used the service over the years: thank you. You all helped make it such a tremendous success. To the many colleagues, interns, and collaborators who have worked with us on the project over the years: thank you so much. We never would have come this far without you.

With all due respect, that's really a shame when the alternative is that it just falls down a deep dark hole and never sees the light of day ever again. There are lots of even vibrant projects that get forked and the fork is completely self-supported without anyone ever looking back on the authors of the original. I don't see why this source shouldn't be given the opportunity to enjoy that as a best case outcome, or just stagnate (but still be available for any enterprising person to pick up) as a worst case outcome. Even that worst case scenario is better IMHO, than it just dying and never being given the opportunity. Cheers, b. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I don't think anyone will blame you for just throwing the source code over the fence and walking away, if the alternative is to just deleting it or sticking it in a safe and never letting anyone use it. Please consider publishing the code under a permissive license (we use Apache license v2 for our work) instead of locking it away forever. It would be really sad if all this work just went to waste, when it could have the chance to be the basis of other work. Thanks again. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike at swm.pp.se From matt.mathis at gmail.com Thu Feb 28 08:08:02 2019 From: matt.mathis at gmail.com (Matt Mathis) Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2019 08:08:02 -0800 Subject: [Netalyzr] Shutting down Netalyzr In-Reply-To: References: <907f0975-12ed-4e98-c31c-2d612dfea81a@icir.org> Message-ID: I want to second this thought: there are competent teams out there who could in principle take on a curation role, and maintain the high quality of the software. What source control are you currently using? Is the repo up to date, and does it match the running servers? Is building and launching a server from source (semi) automatic and/or hermetic?
