Hello,
I would like to grab this issue and work on it if no one is working on it.

[tpdenk]

Hi, please move to xqueries/xdb and find that issue. We no longer work in this repo

xqueries/xdb#1

[tomarrell]

You're more than welcome to pick up this issue here if you'd like.

Tim has made a fork and has moved to that, however you're welcome to contribute to whichever you would like.

I'd be happy to review a PR if you open it.

[Shivam010]

Ok, but is there any particular reason for maintaining two different project works?
I am kinda confused with the parting.
Can I know the goal set or the differences between both the projects if possible, @tomarrell @tsatke?

[Shivam010]

I would really like to work on building a database. I like the project.

[tpdenk]

@tomarrell is inactive since about febuary, and I'm not an admin in this repo, so I can't archive it or anything

[tpdenk]

the goal set of the new project is just a different roadmap really

[tpdenk]

Let's take this discussion to xqueries/xdb#1

[Shivam010]

Ok, if it's about inactivity

[tomarrell]

Sure, I have certainly been less than active, that is true. However, I would not consider this project abandoned by any means. I would consider it more of a long running project.

The goal of this project when I first embarked on it was to build something that was ultimately as simple as possible in order to act as a good reference for people who want to learn the inner workings of a distributed database.

If you share the same goals, then you're more than welcome to contribute here if you would like.

Otherwise, xqueries/xdb looks to be a good option if you would like to take it past this above goal, as it appears they're looking to build something a little more tuned for production use.
