Why?

As issues continued to pile up, project creator Pedro Nauck wrote an apology to the docz community. They brought up how as the project continued to grow in popularity, things became increasingly more complicated. The one way street between developer and end-user was rough, and it caused them to disengage.

When the project starts to have a lot of people using it, it’s more complicated yet. People want a lot of things from you and your project, big companies are using the project and need a lot of things as well from it in order to keep their projects healthy, but in most of the cases this is a talk in just one way. There are more people interest in have things from you, than help! And this crashed me 😕

They then went onto talking about how he came to a crossroads – their health was compromised and they needed to make a decision in regards to that.

So, after a time working a lot here and on my business, I was with my healthy compromised and needed to choose between “keep my open source project” or “keep my mental and physical health”. And for me the choice was very clear, I choose me.
