Hi Alex,

It is absolutely none of my business. I just wanted to make sure things are okay with you.

We miss you over at GitHub - wagoodman/dive: A tool for exploring each layer in a docker image

All the best,
Gabriel Jones

Hey there! Thanks so much for checking in on Alex. He’s alive and well, and I’m sure life (children, work etc) got in the way. I totally empathise as I think about all the GitHub projects I have “abandoned” or “forgotten”. I wish there were more hours in the day.

Maybe it’s time to say goodbye, and hand the reigns over to someone else?

Thanks so much. I volunteer to take the reigns if he is so inclined.

I am gabrieljones (Gabriel Jones) · GitHub

Indeed, I’m alive and well! Regarding dive, I hear your interest… give me a few weeks to see how I can make more time for you and dive in general. I don’t want to leave the project in the state it’s in, but I also am not comfortable handing over control of such a large project either.

I wanted to post an update here in terms of what the status of this project is (…since that’s been an understandably [common](https://github.com/wagoodman/dive/issues/567) [question](https://github.com/wagoodman/dive/issues/553) here). Over the last several years I have not been able to give this project the attention it needs (full time job + full time parenting) -- which has been disheartening to say the least, since there are so many folks using this project and interested in contributing to the project. I’ve had a lot of questions about adding someone else as a maintainer, and the short answer is in the past I haven’t had the time to really vet anyone let alone setup governance around this. At the same time I also do not want to see this project die on the vine. I want to let folks know what to expect moving forward: - I’ll be working on this repo weekly now --the main goal in the near future is to triage what issues there are today and get regular releases going again - From a planning perspective I want to get a roadmap established that shows really where this tool is going - Setting up governance here and getting external maintainers here is a must, expect to see this soon Thank you to everyone that has been working to get fixes and features into forks and sorry to anyone who has felt frustration around the lack of response in this project.
