Edge: Is this project dead?

[bravomikekilo]

seems there are no new changes for half year.

There have been several people that have asked the same question and there has been no response from the maintainer. It looks like this project needs a new maintainer. There are two forks that seem to be actively improving Edge. @kexplo's electron-edge fork has been updated to work with the latest version of Electron. @agracio seems to be fixing various bugs on his fork. Maybe we should shift our focus to one of these forks. @agracio seems to be accepting PRs (see #541) so that fork sounds especially promising.

I know @tjanczuk has been very busy with other responsibilities, and has been looking for a new maintainer to take over responsibility for this project. I don't know where he ended up with that search, though.

It would be excellent if @tjanczuk could find a new maintainer if he is unable to continue working on it. There is clearly demand for a project like Edge.js.

Yes, I'm also keen for this project to be kept alive. @agracio does seem to be active and looking at various issues.
I'm also up for contributing where I can as I have been trying to get Edge to play nicely with Electron and .Net Core (https://github.com/tjanczuk/edge/issues/544) as the existing repo does not.

I am also up for keeping this project alive. I too am running Electron (using electron-rebuild to properly build the projects).

Well I appears that this repo is not dead...as there has been an update for node 7.x.x. However, we will need a build for node 8.x.x.
