Hi all,

while noticing that Thrift is going to be an Apache TLP for 10 years very soon 
(20th of Oct exactly), I wondered if there might be a good moment to do some 
sort of a review and some ooks towards the future of the project. What I am 
personally would love to know (and see) is this:

* What language bindings are the most favorite ones used by the community? What 
can we do to improve the maintainer situation, like publishing official release 
artifacts? What about Erlang, which still lets the pull requests CI runs fail? 
What about the D language, which for months now produces deprecation warnings?

* In order to keep the codebase in shape and up-to-date, sometimes it might be 
a necessary to get rid of outdated stuff. What language bindings shall in your 
opinion be deprecated and dropped, because essentially nobody needs it anymore? 
We already deprecated AS3 but I think there could be more. What do you think?

* I’d like to go for an 0.14.0 release in the next weeks. Are there any 
objections, blockers or anything you would like to see in that release and (are 
prepared to help getting it done)? Any help is of course much appreciated.

* One contributor recently announced to start working on some documentation 
improvements. There is also some pressure from INFRA to move away from the ASF 
CMS, as this is deprecated. If anybody has some spare hours that he/she likes 
to spend on that topic – please post to the dev mailing list. I’d love to see 
that whole matter brought forward as community effort.

* Anything else you always wanted to share but never did? Please, do it!

Have fiun,
JensG
