The Gorilla Toolkit is now in archive-mode (github.com)

Definitely the best possible way to raise publicity about the issue.

How utterly dependent I have become on the free work of others (not Go/Gorilla specifically).

That's a shame. I bet my startup's code with gorilla websockets will get use for another 2 years on the same git sha (it's been in prod for 3 years already too). So thank you for the work! It was a good library

I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more upvotes/visibility given how widely used the gorilla stuff is (in particular gorilla/mux).

Thanks to everyone who's contributed to gorilla/* over the years!

I'm not one to follow trends in golang circles.

Is this project core to the ecosystem?

I remember it being recommended by some a few years ago.

I just found out about this being archived so I created a fork at https://github.com/GorillaIncubator.

If anyone wants to help with this project, please head over contribute. I'm interested in moving this project forward if there's enough collaborators. If you've been thinking about contributing, now's the time to pitch in. I don't know of any other forks that are organizing with the intent of keeping the project alive.

If there's enough community engagement, I'm hoping the original maintainers would be open to unarchiving the project and letting us continue maintaining it there.
