vichan is a free light-weight, fast, highly configurable and user-friendly
imageboard software package. It is written in PHP and has few dependencies.
In November 2017, Marcin Łabanowski (@czaks) retired as maintainer for personal reasons. His retirement may be temporary, but in his absence, Fredrick Brennan (@ctrlcctrlv), co-maintainer since 2013, and #3 in terms of number of commits, took his place as interim sole maintianer and point of contact. (See [issue #266](https://github.com/vichan-devel/vichan/issues/266))
*Security problems can be reported to Fredrick Brennan at his email: COPYPASTE \<AT\> KITTENS \<DOT\> PH.*
*Security problems can be reported to the development team: DEVELOPMENT \<AT\> VICHAN \<DOT\> NET.*
Vichan is still accepting patches, but there is at the moment no active development besides fixing security problems and other serious bugs as they emerge. Given the lack of active development, we strongly urge you to consider other imageboard packages. It is the opinion of the vichan development team that no new vichan imageboards should be deployed, and other imageboard packages used instead.
While there is currently no active development besides fixing security problems, we don't exclude the possibility to refactor the code in order to meet today's standards and continue our work from the point where @czaks retired in 2017.
Before this milestone is achieved though, we strongly urge you to consider other imageboard packages. It is the opinion of the vichan development team that no new vichan imageboards should be deployed at the moment, and other imageboard packages used instead.
