Dear Chin Luh,

Thank you so much for addressing the critical topic of external modules maintenance.
While IPCV is the most downloaded module, your fair question
>So should IPCV continue to be maintained ...?
sounds desperate to me. I rather share the same feeling: Almost 5 days after your message, not a single answer from users...!

So, apparently, the answer is likely: No, it's not worth maintaining the most downloaded module, and therefore No, it's not worth maintaining any other external module. Let's stop maintaining ATOMS for 2021. The ghosts of silent users are certainly rich enough to pay commercial equivalent tools.

Since there are 12 days left before 2021, i will answer for particular cases in separate (sub-)threads.

Best regards
Samuel

Sometimes it is hard to decide whether to continue maintaining an atoms module or not.... So I did "snapshots" of downloads on 9/11/2020 21:44 and 14/12/2020 12:20 respectively to see which modules are in the actual top downloads.

Still, this is not a fair result, such as IPCV having some "patches" which will increase the download number, and some other factors as well.

So should IPCV continue to be maintained ...?
