Today, I have a bit of a sad announcement to make: Ruma, the homeserver, won't be developed any more.

To those who have actively been following the project, this probably won't be a big surprise, given the homeserver's readme file was already update do note the missing maintenance and people interested in contributing to the homeserver have now gathered around a new homeserver project by the name of Conduit.

The main reason for ending homeserver development is that nobody who has previously worked on its codebase is currently able to guide and review work on it. The codebase has also bit-rotted a lot, with the web framework it uses being almost un-maintained and a number of its other dependencies having seen major new releases since the most recent commit; it also doesn't build on ruma-client-api, for the simple reason that ruma-client-api simply didn't exist yet when most of the homeserver work happened.

However, the end of the homeserver does not at all mean the end of Ruma, the overall project.
