Hi,

as I am working on the Perl Dancer video course I need to look up lots of things in the documentation on https://metacpan.org/release/Dancer2 and many times I feel either that it is difficult to find what I was looking for

For example looking for the full list of words in the DSL:

I clicked on both links saying DSL, neither of them had the list, nor a link to the manual

where I findall found it:

Another thing I was looking for is the list of types one can use out of the box to describe the routes. I could not find it.

-------------------------------------

It is frustrating, but this is open source, I can help improve it, right?

I thought I'll open a ticket, maybe even send a pull-request.

Looked at https://github.com/PerlDancer/Dancer2/

and this made me even more frustrated. There are 110 open issues and 32 open pull-request. That's 32 things some people have worked on and have not been integrated.

(If you like, you can compare the numbers with

Mojolicious https://github.com/mojolicious/mojo  47 3

Flask https://github.com/pallets/flask 18 4

You can also look at the commit history and you see there was hardly any activity recently.

I keep recording the course, but I feel reluctant to open issues or work on pull-request because I don't want to waste my time on something where the chances of integration seem to be so low.

-------------------------------------------

Why has the development slowed down? How could it be fixed?

Have the core developers (almost completely) lost interest?

Do they lack the time?
