    I just now heard about comaps and read about their origin on the website. Does it have the contributors behind them to supersede Organic Maps? What is happening to Organic Maps? I am at the moment donating to them.

      2025: Governance issues and community concerns not addressed by company shareholders stalled the development of Organic Maps for months.

      2025: The CoMaps community & non-profit project was founded by former Organic Maps contributors, based on the Organic Maps source code.

        Yes, I read that, but it might be a little bit biased coming from the project itself. Open source is do-cracy, so it is very important to have core contributors onboard.

      Based on commits both projects have a core dev team of around 5 members, organic maps has a lot more small contributors however likely because its an older and more known project. Comaps seems to be solving more important issues with routing though imo
