Summary

A New Chapter for the Manorrock Sustainability Initiative

This repository is part of the Manorrock Sustainability Initiative, a comprehensive effort to ensure the long-term viability of our diverse projects. As we continue to grow and evolve, we're seeking new maintainers for this project. If no maintainers step forward by December 31, 2025, this repository will be archived and moved to the manorrock-attic organization. This archival notice serves as a reminder of the project's timeline and the opportunities available for new maintainers.

The Manorrock Sustainability Initiative is a crucial step towards securing the future of our projects. By finding passionate maintainers who can take these projects forward, we're ensuring that our ecosystem continues to thrive. This initiative isn't about abandoning projects – it's about finding dedicated individuals who can provide the necessary attention and maintenance.

Project Timeline

A Clear Path Forward
