Hi Paul,
First, GeaFlow internally at Ant Group has adopted a Gremlin syntax extended on top of SQL based on Calcite, supporting over 300 internal business scenarios. In the open-source community, our current positioning is to extend the ISO/GQL instead. Additionally, the contribution pause that occurred in the middle of last year was mainly due to team changes. Currently, the main contributors to GeaFlow are still from within Ant Group. Our current development team believes in the value of large-scale graph computing, and their investment in GeaFlow is not strongly correlated with the organization's KPIs. Therefore, regardless of whether the organization continues to adjust, the current developers will consistently invest in GeaFlow project. With the rapid development of lakehouse and knowledge graph technologies, GeaFlow developers will increasingly believe in the technological value of large-scale real-time graph computing. At the same time, we have established a detailed technical roadmap and community build strategies to ensure the sustainable and healthy development of the GeaFlow project. - *Community Technical Roadmap*: https://github.com/TuGraph-family/tugraph-analytics/issues/532 - *Community Build Strategies*: - *Build in Public*: This includes an open roadmap, clear issue classification and timely triage, internationalization, etc. - *Community Management*: Clear community roles and community architecture: https://github.com/TuGraph-family/community - *Technical Evangelism*: Utilizing diverse community evangelism methods, such as technical conferences, community meetups, upstream and downstream ecosystem collaboration, university course collaborations, CCF research funding, technical articles, hackathons, etc. Regards, Florian Zhidong Fan Paul King <pa...@asert.com.au> 于2025年5月22日周四 18:47写道： > Hi, > > +1 from me for this proposal.
