Should this repo be forked so that development can continue?

[gerdemann]

This repository no longer appears to be actively maintained.
There are open pull requests and issues, but no current commits or responses from the maintainer side.

Should a fork be created to continue development?
Are there already active forks that are being further developed?

A discussion about this could help to make a decision.

If a fork is the solution, we could continue here:
https://github.com/openai-php-ng/client

I personally never got a single review in one year and half on
#287 and #429

Not even a comment.

It doesn't promote contributions

@gerdemann if you were to fork, our company would be willing to put in development work. The current state of things is not working for us; we're depending on the OpenAI API, and have to hack the client library to accept their responses. I'm very close to forking myself, but if we could do it as a community effort, that would be great.

@gehrisandro if you would be able to chime in on this, it would be much appreciated. The maintainer team is close to the Laravel maintainers, but the level of contributions here is very different to what we've come to expect from the ecosystem. This is not an accusation. But if you provide a popular library, it would be great to either work with community contributions to get improvements into the package, or accept contributors into the maintainer team if you cannot afford the attention necessary to keep it alive. If it is a matter of funding, let's talk, that isn't the issue.
Just ignoring things causes pain to everyone involved. Right now, we'd be better off if you'd archive the repository, so the community could focus their attention elsewhere; the issues and PRs piling up (here and in the Laravel wrapper repo) don't help anyone.

Again, please don't take this as a personal attack, it really isn't, I appreciate your work, here and elsewhere. I have done my share of open source maintenance, too. I just beg your understanding that we depend on this library, and depend on it working and the maintainers responsive.

@Radiergummi Yes, I have forked the repo (openai-php-ng/client) and would also like to make a few adjustments.

If @gehrisandro can comment and the community can continue this repo, that would of course be all the better. 😄
