XAMPP + Apache Friends need more Friends

XAMPP, Apache + MariaDB + PHP + Perl, is a valuable learning installer/product for new developers on Windows, Linux and MacOS. There needs to more maintainers, potentially you, for this product to remain useful.

Its currently maintained by a single maintainer, Beltran Rueda, who is time poor, but wants the project to continue. With a small amount of ongoing support from you, the reader, who has or could gain iTcl programming skill, this product, that enables the future generations of developers, could be maintained. High on the priority list for the project is a few version bumps (notably MariaDB 10.4, that isn’t packaged or maintained any longer) and resolving some poor user experiences.

The build and control panel is hosted on GitHub in the Apache Friends organization to view its easy build environment and simple architecture.

Beltran Rueda invites willing helpers to participate in the maintenance via the GitHub issue 47 or via email ‘beltran’ ‘at’ ‘apachefriends’ ‘dot’ ‘org’.

Be a Apache Friend and reach out to Beltran to help make XAMPP an up-to-date and valuable learning environment for our future tech generation.
