Random quote: "Like the wind crying endlessly through the universe, Time carries away the names and the deeds of conquerors and commoners alike. And all that we are, all that remains, is in the memories of those who cared we came this way for a brief moment." - Harlan Ellison (Paladin of the Lost Hour)

Location: Chicago, IL		Hi! Are there any updates on 3.0? I kind of stopped using this site through the pandemic. I still really like the RYO features, and think the community has potential, but the engagement is so low that it's hard to remember to keep checking. I suspended my patreon support for a bit due to personal finance issues, but if the site is still in the works I'd love to get back into it.

Also, my offer to contribute to any open source work (especially with Python, database admin, and cloud hosting) is still open

The 3.0 site is still alive and improving but it's happening in fits and starts. We'll make some major updates then fall off for a few weeks the jump back in to implement something new then drift away again. We've been doing that since long before Covid but Covid seems to amplify the problem.

You're right about engagement dropping off. Lots of visitors still coming day in and day out but everyone just pops in to find a new book. Nobody has any energy to interact anymore it seems. I'm barely keeping up with data updates and award announcements and some 3.0 edits here and there. But I don't have anything left in the tank these days to rally the faithful.

I'll catch my second wind for the 100th time and lurch forward a few more steps soon enough.
