Project Abandoned, future of this project?

[bj00rn]

Hi,

Is this project abandoned?

No releases for a year and the dependencies are outdated of which some of them do not seem to be actively maintained.

I suggest looking at the #152 issue, there is some discussion regarding the situation with Meteor, Fibers, Webdriverio and Chimpy.

We moved all our tests away from chimp/chimpy. On most projects it was very simple, you can take a look at the issue @dweller23 mentioned.
On one occasion and very big project it was a few days task for an app with ~1000 tests, so it's doable.

The burden of maintenance was too high for us - especially since chimpy relies on so many external dependencies including chrome / chromedriver, and return was very low - chimp was revolutionary in it's day but most of it's features are now implemented in mainstream proejcts that have backings of large corporations (cypress, webdriverio - saucelabs, Puppeteer - google) , there is little sense in trying to compete with them.

I guess we should make a note in README.md. We would be happy to transfer the ownership to someone that still actively uses this project.
