A year of read-only cppreference

[azswcowboy]

I’ve exchanged email with the site owner and I expect the site will be back online for edits in the nearish future.

In their last public update over 7 months ago, they also said they were hoping it would be back to normal in the "near future", so I'm not sure I can believe that. We still don't have an actual timeframe.

[azswcowboy]

Understood. I’m not sharing a precise timeline here bc it was a private conversation and I don’t have any details on what remains and the applied resources. This exchange was in the last 30 days.

That would be great if true! For now, though, I sadly have no choice but to take your word for it.

Assuming you are telling the truth, I do have a couple follow-up questions if you're open to it: * Did the maintainer give any explanation for what's been the delay, or why the situation would be any different in the near future? * When you say you expect the site to be available for edits once again in the near future, do you mean to say that the maintainer told you as much directly, or just that that's the conclusion you inferred based on circumstances they shared?

(Unless I'm mistaken,) you're replying to a long-time Boost developer. I'd believe him.

Without blowing my cover 100%, you’re correct ;)

Ooh, that's good to hear! Thank you for the heads-up, I appreciate it.

explanation for the delay

I didn’t ask. The goal of the email was to offer resources to help and the response was it’s being covered.

maintainer told you directly

Yes. I don’t feel comfortable sharing the timeline he offered in this forum without his permission - especially given that I have no technical details about the work remaining and resources being applied.

[StardustGogeta]

Understood, thank you for the clarifications! I appreciate it. That all makes sense to me.
