V-EZ is unmaintained, what's next?

[manhnt9]

I've contacted author @soconne of V-EZ hoping to become a maintainer of this repo, but unfortunately it's not possible.

Our company's open-source division is willing to maintain it, but we need your help on keeping the project alive and developed well. Here is what we have done with V-EZ:

1. Port it to MacOS, iOS: Port to macOS, too! #4 (comment)
2. Port to Android: Android port #57
3. Build a cross-platform graphics library using V-EZ
4. Integrate 3D rendering into a Flutter app (WIP).

I will set up new repo and docs soon, we need your help to migrate important issues (re-report) and migrate patches (re-send pull requests).

P/s: all of our open-source projects are on GitLab, so new V-EZ will be on GitLab too.

Update Feb 20, 2021, #73 (comment) :

Hi everyone. We've just returned working after Lunar New Year celebration.
The new V-EZ is up on our GitLab.

We hope to collaborate more with the community to keep this project going.
Please submit merge requests and issues there, our team will take time to review & update.

Thank you !

that is too bad... hopefully they will take action.

Hi, we will publish the new V-EZ version along with our upcoming open-source soon in 1-2 months !
I've been setting up more open-source workflow for our company.
Sorry for the slow updates.

@manhnt9 I've created some issues with fixes you may well want to integrate into your repository, your branch includes the same issues and potential fixes required.

[manhnt9]

Thanks @EvilTrev, I'll take a look and review. I'd be great if those are on a merge request on our GitLab too, it'll be easier to incorporate the changes.

@manhnt9 just added another with two fixes. Sorry, not in a position to submit a merge request from this code base :/

Thanks, we'll watch this GitHub and plan for a major maintenance phase.
Our team is busy at the moment but we always have plans for V-EZ.
It's simply the most convenient way for new users starting with Vulkan I believe.
