How do you kill a popular, open-source project in two steps ?

[ragmondo]

This question is not trying to be flippant, but somewhere between v1.x and 2.1 a change went in that breaks cvat when used on a network.

That change has now (well a few weeks ago) propagated to the public system (cvat.org)

The maintainers of cvat.org are not responding to any user queries. There is no path for escalation. See all the individuals below who have tried to get this resolved.

**** PLEASE **** fix the cross server origin issue when deploying to a network

From cvat.org - the same error

@ragmondo , cvat.org is down by another reason. It is not fix the cross server origin issue. CVAT.org was not updated for 3 months already. I understand your indignation. The core team cannot fix any problems right now due to Intel Suspends Operations in Russia.

P.S. I believe already next week the community will see some changes. Please be patient.

Ok - I apologise that I confused the two issues and I am deeply sorry to hear that world issues are affecting this project. I hope that you manage to get things back on the rails soon. On the plus side, I've written a convertor for CVAT Image format to Apple's CreateML format. I can't raise a pull request just yet as the code runs independently on an exported unzipped file, but if I can figure out how to integrate it then I will.

[nmanovic]

@ragmondo , you can see how other dataset formats are implemented in CVAT. Basically we add support of a format into https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/datumaro and after that it is more or less trivial to add such support into CVAT.

Hi, @ragmondo

There is current fork we are working on and support as non-Intel collaborators.
Soon alternative of cvat.org will be available for the community.

Online tool: https://app.cvat.ai/
Work is being done also to restore access to cvat.org, but dedline is unclear because it out of our management now.

Much appreciated. I am giving it a test run now but I am very much appreciate of your efforts in this matter. I have another query which is basically my inability to self-host an installation as I get the CORS error (which I mistakenly conflated with the cvat.org unavailability issue) but I'll keep researching.
