Project Roadmap / Call for maintainers

[robertlarkins]

I'm looking at using RazorEngine for email templates in a non Asp.Net project, but this repository seems dead at the moment. Is this repository still active, or is there an alternative that I should be looking at?

The state is that I asked for a new maintainer and nobody really reached out to me yet. I'm not aware of any alternative besides using a "normal" (ie non razor) templating engine

I used this in a project late 2017, loved it. I'm getting ready to do another. Is there any update to the project status? Maintainers, etc....?

[Antaris]

Project status is still the same. As @matthid alluded to, there is still an open call for maintainers. I stepped back from the project a couple of years ago, and Matthias has been maintaining it since. But life has a way of shifting priorities.

RazorEngine has been round for years now and is pretty stable, but where it sits in the new .NET Standard/Core world I dont really know given that Microsoft have made considerable changes to Razor so perhaps a new project, designed from the ground up to take advantage of the newer Razor framework would be a possibility. That could be interesting.

In addition, I have experimented with a Handlebars flavour text templating solution (https://github.com/Antaris/FuManchu) but it's not that mature yet

I have used this library since 2016 (MVC app) to process tons of emails. Its currently still in use in our production environment under decent loads. I have templates in db/disk/in memory. The project is pretty stable as is (although I am on an older version). What requirements are needed to become a maintainer of the project?
