Is this project maintained?

I guess it started as a fork of parquetjs which was not really well maintained (and is still not).

But now it seems parquets is not really maintained too. Is there any plan to add contributors so issues and pull requests can receive some answers?

Maybe we can considere a fork if no answer is provided, anyone?

[sambonbonne]

@dobesv you said in #35 you could help a little (at least you opened six pull requests, that's really nice). Is it still possible for you?

[dobesv]

I don't have write access to the repo or to NPM so I can't update this package. I might have to fork it, unfortunately.

[sambonbonne]

Maybe we can wait some days for an answer from @kbajalc and if we have no response about the maintenance, forking should be considered?

[dobesv]

I've had PRs open since the end of last year so it's long enough to declare the project dead, in my opinion.

[sambonbonne]

Sorry for the wait.

I would say the project is dead, too, but I wanted to see if the author could at least answer an issue asking if this feeling was shared.

I never contributed to this project, I can fork it but I would not contribute a lot beyond accepting PR and maybe handle/automate publication and updates on npm registry.

If anyone more active, maybe you @dobesv, is thinking about forking, maybe it would be a better option.

I wonder if @dvirtz will be maintaining his repository better, maybe we could use that one. Seems to have activity as of July 7th.

I've only did some fixes to make it usable in my VSCode parquet viewer project.
I don't have a problem accepting PRs though.

[sambonbonne]

@dvirtz and do you think you would be able to publish to npm?

[dvirtz]

I already do: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@dvirtz/parquets

[sambonbonne]

Thanks, this is good to know! So if anyone see this issue and want to contribute, I guess they'll see you're opened to accept some PR.

Possibly of interest to this thread: I have a working WebAssembly version of a Parquet reader/writer here: https://github.com/kylebarron/parquet-wasm. Hopefully it should be easier to maintain given that the Rust implementations of Parquet are more stable.
