After seeing a post on thinking of closing down the project. Are you still considering this ?

Given what i've seen for Hiawatha i think you've now just reached the point it is a seriously viable alternative. Especially as a component for infrastructure and other purposes. I'd seriously consider the idea of having a professional code audit performed, maybe launch a crowdfund project over that.

The hidden attraction to me is Hiawatha is a "local" product, not american, english, russian or asian, european it is.

No, I've never considered closing the project, just this website. I'm working on Hiawatha for about 13,5 years now and still not many people use it. At the time of that post, I was receiving a lot of spam at my forum and almost no response from any actual user. I use Hiawatha myself and it will always be a hobby of mine. But there is a difference between simply publishing the Hiawatha source at Github or running a project / support website for it. The last one is only useful when there are actual users.

At the moment, I'm developing Hiawatha just for myself. I only accept feature requests if I think it will be fun to implement. I no longer care for people using or not using my webserver. To those who do, I will support them by answering questions. But no more trying to make Hiawatha more known.

Well, Hiawatha is certainly appreciated by some of your users. The more I use it and learn about it, the more I feel like it is just a really solid piece of software. Really nicely done.

Thanks! Please, spread the word.
