Quo vadis, DokuWiki?
Is DokuWiki dead?
development activity seems to have decreased at lot
nearly no communication on the Mailing List
long term developers seem to have lost interest/time (myself included)
no new developers join (or we are shit at integrating them into our community)
Is that even true?
Numbers!
Data from 2011 til today
2015 is not complete, so it's somewhat skewed
graphs show rolling 5 month averages
trend line is linear (whatever that means ;-P)
Development
Commits
Mailing List Posts
IRC Messages
New Plugins
Development Summary
commit count has decreased
but not as much as the communication has
most communication now happens in github comments
Plugin creation slightly decreases
Endusers
Forum Posts
Newsletter
Sessions
End User Numbers
Forum posts are down, mostly to the loss of developers chiming in (I think)
Newsletter subscriptions got a huge bump with download.dokuwiki.org being introduced
Sessions are slightly growing
Is it even our fault?
Time to speculate
DokuWiki feels finished
Keeping backwards compatibility and existing users happy
We're not exactly modern PHP
existing developers are gatekeepers but have limited time/interest
Can we just be done?
Splitting off modules that are of broader interest to the PHP community
Who should have commit access who still hasn't?
How do we notice new people?
And now?
Ideas anyone?
Need a group hug?
