Abandoned Source
What happens when that open source library you’ve come to depend on loses momentum? When the revisions stop being published and the lead developer goes dark?
You can either throw in the shovel and learn to use another library that doesn’t do quite what you want, quite as well, or pick up where the trail ends and try your hand at creating high quality software.
Unfortunately for us all, the former is often the path most followed.
Remember that open source software is not the result of free labor, it is the result of volunteer labor.
Be thankful that you don’t have to reverse engineer the obfuscated libraries.
WYMeditor now faces a similar fate.
