We announced on 2022-03-01 that we do not have the resources to bring SkoHub PubSub further, see the blog post (Unfortunately, we did not mention this in the repo itself and should add it.) Basically, nothing has changed since then as we have focused on consolidating SkoHub Vocabs and bringing SkoHub reconcile further towards production. This repo was last touched in 2021 and we have no concrete plans to pick up development. What kept us from taking this on again was mainly the lack of a concrete use case, especially in the educational/higher ed space. If you have such a use case, we might be able to help out a bit with the development.

Generally, we would probably completely rewrite SkoHub PubSub by now as it was built from scratch by @literarymachine in 2019 and since then a lot of ActivityPub development resources started to exist we could now built on.

ok, good to know. maybe also a usecase for https://rdfpub.org

We would like to test out Emissary for setting up a SkoHub PubSub instance. I got aware of Emissary trhough this recent wedistribute post: https://wedistribute.org/2024/04/emissary-social-web/ As @sroertgen will be on parental leave coming next week, it probably won't happen soon, though.

I guess we can close this issue then?
