      I remember seeing that backtrader is used in several banks and quant firms... would any of these companies be willing to sponsor backtrader's continued maintenance? Might incentivize Daniel R to keep working on it or incentivize the new admin team.

        Nice to see original backtrader getting an update. As I understand the future situation about original backtrader, backtrader2 or possible contributions by other people to original backtrader is not decided yet.

        I joined the backtrader2 orginazation (thank you) and updated its master branch to match original backtrader's master branch. Was basically a test but it worked and I think it was not wrong. I hope that was ok for you guys? I don't real know who is supposed to do/to be allowed to do stuff like this.

          @vladisld I'd love to join as an admin

          I've created a discord group if you all think it will be helpful to have realtime communication. The concern is splitting the community/content so I haven't published a link.

          What do you all think?

              I'm also interested in contributing. I still have lots to learn about backtrader itself but I'm learning as I'm going and I have some ideas to implement. What's the update on this?

                You are very welcome. Currently we have a bunch of issues open in backtrader2 repository. Please take a look. Right now we are concentrating on bug fixes only - no new features. But even this goes pretty slowly to tell you the truth ☺️.

                    Is there a way of realtime communication created like discord? I think that would be useful.

                        @run-out To have a channel to chat. I'm going off @Atul-Patel's message where he said he created a discord group so I was wondering if that is still going.

                          @Jens-Halsberghe Interesting question. I wonder what the others in the community would think? I'm not sure I'm on enough to be in chat situations.

                            @run-out me neither but it could be a start and stimulate people to work together if there's a direct channel of communication. I haven't worked on anything open source related and I just want to learn more and help improve this project.

                                    discord

                                    If there is a discord group, it SHOULD be created by @vladisld since he has taken the responsibility of maintaining the backtrader2/backtrader github repository.

                                    @vladisld please, create a discord group and place the invite link in a good place on the forum and github aswell.
