State of the Project

I, Steve, am the only major contributor to this project. I don't currently use it for anything, so it isn't high on my list of things to work on. As such, major bugs may go unfixed for unacceptable amounts of time if you assume I'll take care of them.

If you are truly in need of a bug-free, feature-rich HTML5 drawing widget, it is in your best interest to get up to date on the source code and start sending pull requests. I'm more than happy to help you learn.

I started this project entirely for fun. People have come to rely on it, but there hasn't been a corresponding increase in contributions. At this point I can't keep supporting people's products for free.

That said, I'm available to work as a contractor to add features to the library. My email address is in the commits. You can also put bounties on issues at Bountysource.
