Any experienced C developers among my followers? #BoostsWelcome.

Expat, arguably the world's most popular #XML parser, is understaffed and without funding. As #xz has shown, situations like this are dangerous.

Last month, maintainer Sebastian Pipping put up a plea for help at https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/blob/R_2_6_2/expat/Changes

(I would help myself, but my C skills barely surpass "Hello, World".)

After maintaining an #OpenSource project for more than two years, I took the decision to shut it down in order to focus my energy elsewhere.

While I am proud of shipping something that is useful to hundreds of users, this project does not bring me joy anymore because it ties me to a user-hostile commercial web that I want to leave behind. Instead of making the commercial web more bearable, I'd rather spend my energy on making the non-commercial web more attractive.
