I want to thank the Collaboration team for taking
this brave step - and
yes, it's a brave step. The natural trajectory of large projects that don't
quite seem to meet their promise is to keep going and going until everyone
is burnt out, and it is courageous to say "this isn't going where we wanted
it to" and break that cycle. Most of the people who are currently involved
in Flow and the Collaboration team were not there when it started, and they
joined a project that had very mixed levels of support that had very
challenging and broad objectives. We as a community can learn a lot from
their experience, and we really should make an effort to examine this
project and use this experience to re-examine and improve the process of
developing new software.
+1 - it's far better to kill it now than later.
Flow is not being killed.
In addition to maintaining and supporting it, we'll soon be working on
rolling out a Beta feature to allow people to enable Flow on their user
talk pages.
After that, we'll start work on workflows, as noted in the original
email. Workflows were *always* planned to be the next stage of Flow.
That's the whole reason it's called Flow.
