Seeking new maintainers

Gordon Woodhull is stepping down from maintaining dc.js at the end of 2022. He may occasionally respond on Stack Overflow or on GitHub issues, but will no longer maintain or contribute to the project.

Deepak Kumar (@kum-deepak) has volunteered to be the active maintainer, but he needs your help:

• Beta testing new versions and features
• Refactoring, adding features, and fixing bugs
• Improving documentation
• Answering questions on GitHub Issues, Stack Overflow, and mailing list

Please reach out through this ticket or through our emails in bios if you are interested in becoming a maintainer.

dc@5

Deepak is taking dc.js in a new direction in dc version 5, available in the dc-v5 branch.

Design goals include:

• Simplifying and modularizing code; separating concerns
• Server-side filtering and aggregation directly supported without workarounds
• Fully ported to Typescript
• Saving and restoring filters

Due to fixing longstanding issues with dc.js, the interface will not be backward compatible, but there are codemods to ease the transition.

I would love to contribute to the maintenance of the repository if new members are still needed.

Thanks for developing this impressive tool @gordonwoodhull and thanks for taking over development @kum-deepak!
