Adam's Lair Forum

So the most recent maintainer of the OpenTK framework posted this notice a week ago. He's been pushing the project forward and been the sole maintainer of it for the past half year or so and apparently, he never had the full access rights, nor was it possible to reach any of the project owners to obtain them. Given the situation, he has now decided to leave the project - which is totally understandable, but it also means that the official opentk repository no longer has a maintainer.

For me, this is bad news. Not for Duality actually - its OpenTK backend is quite stable and could be replaced by a different one if need be, so no worries from this side. It's bad news, because OpenTK is an awesome project and I'd love to see it alive and kicking. It is my go-to recommendation when someone asks how to use OpenGL or OpenAL with C#, or how to set up a simple game project based on the gritty lowlevel stuff. It's small and simple and doesn't come with a lot of overhead, like a lot of other frameworks out there. It set out to do exactly one thing and sticked to it. And as you can probably read here, I'm a bit of a fan

Anyway. Since I have this AdamsLair.OpenTK fork around, I decided to merge the latest opentk commits and will now consider merging some of the pending Pull Requests from opentk/opentk. All custom Duality modifications have been and will be done strictly in a duality-specific branch, so it's essentially a mirror of the official repo with a few more fixes and tweaks. I won't be able to step in as some kind of unofficial maintainer, because I already maintain Duality and that's plenty - but maybe I can at least collect some pieces before they - in the worst case - become unavailable.
