Any interest in a community fork of kestrel?

[eric]

It's been a couple years since twitter has released any updates to kestrel publicly, but there have been some little issues that it would be nice to address.

Creating a community fork of kestrel with updated build tools and dependencies could be helpful in allowing for small improvements to be made.

Is this something anyone would be interested in doing?

@eric kestrel right now is low priority for us and the community can definitely fork it if it wants, however, let me check internally do see what we can do here. If the community wants to run with kestrel and take ownership, we can potentially support.

Give me some time to talk with folks

@caniszczyk Any chance you have some news to share regarding this issue (or, maybe, regarding Twitter's general plans for opensource Kestrel version)? Thanks for any information you could provide!

I would be thrilled and very grateful if someone has the time and energy maintain a community fork.

We're releasing our latest including a bunch of bug fixes this week.

Exciting!

I've been adding some fixes in a fork over at https://github.com/papertrail/kestrel.

I would be interested in working with me, I would welcome it. Would creating a kestrel repo in a kestrel org be something people would want?
