Aspen being an open-source project which is now being depended upon by some very important organizations, and individuals, it is important that I share the current state of where it stands and where it is headed.

As much as I'd love to continue giving Aspen a good amount of my spare time, it has become less and less feasible for me to do so over the past few months due to my focus shift on other areas of life - work, health, sports, art, etc.

I kicked off Aspen 2 couple of months ago, the progress of which can be followed here. The core foundation is already there in the aspen-next branch in this repository, and I'll make sure the basic low-level API is there in the coming few weeks to give Aspen 2 a good headstart. I'll explicitly announce that in the release discussion thread when that is done and it is ready to be extended to have advanced API be built on top off.

But that's where I need the community to jump in. The bitter truth is that Aspen 2 might never see the daylight if it continues to be just me running the project. As explained earlier, it has become less and less feasible for me to give my time.

In this thread, I hope to find at least 2 volunteers who can give some of their spare time to Aspen 2 and sail it towards a final release. This does not mean I'm stepping out of the project, it just means I'm seeking help to share the effort 🙏

Feel free to ask me any questions.

I'd be happy to collaborate more actively.

How about establishing another communication channel like a Telegram or Discord group chat or something like that? Feel free to DM me!

👏 I'm happy to see some traction building up!

How about establishing another communication channel like a Telegram or Discord group chat or something like that? Feel free to DM me!

That's a very neat idea. We'll go with Discord since it's much popular. I'll announce it alongside the (pre-)alpha release of aspen 2. Stay tuned.

Please let me know in what area you need help

We'll set milestones once the (pre-)alpha is out as that's when we'll really have a "working" MVP which can then be extended.

Would love to join in as well. Have made extensive use of this library at Paperspace. I had to dig into the internals, thus feel like I can make a meaningful contribution (from my @jaredLunde account)

@zikaari I would love to contribute in the v2! Is the discord server created? if you need any help with that lemme know :)

Also seems like lerna is pretty much stale now, https://github.com/lerna/lerna as they're suggesting people to switch to nrwl and other mono repo tools. I was thinking as the current structure of the v2 repo is still quite simple, let's switch to https://turborepo.org/ I can do this in a PR if you want
