mod_ruby and modruby.net assistance

[I'm posting this to the mailing list after first attempting to mail  
an earlier version to Shugo-san directly. The original has not yet  
been answered, and I'm not sure if I perhaps used an old address or  
something.]

Hi Shugo-san,

I don't know if you remember me, but I've contributed a bit of code to  
mod_ruby in the past, and I still actively use mod_ruby for a number  
of my projects, including the Arrow framework (http://deveiate.org/projects/Arrow 
).

There have been a few questions on the ruby-talk mailing list about  
mod_ruby lately, and people are starting to say that it's  
unmaintained. I think people just see that some of the links on http://modruby.net/ 
  are broken and the fact that there hasn't been a release for almost  
two years as a sign that it's not used anymore.

I'd like to help out, if you wouldn't mind some assistance. The things  
I'd like to do:

* Create an instance of either Trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/) or  
Redmine
  (http://www.redmine.org/) (your preference), to replace the broken  
Collaboa
  links pointing to dev.modruby.net. I can either do the work on a  
server which
  I provide myself, or on the server currently hosting dev.modruby.net  
if you
  can allow me that kind of access.

* Keep the documentation up to date (both English, and Japanese with  
help
  from a friend).

* Add Rdoc-documentation to the mod_ruby C source.

* Help out with any patches or bugs you might not have time to look at
  yourself.

* Write a comprehensive unit test suite

I also would like to update the libapreq code that I originally  
contributed and that you later bundled with the distribution to a more- 
recent version, as well as add support for request types other than  
GET and POST, but I'd wait until after the above items were completed,  
as they are a bit more crucial to the prospective user.

I'd naturally confirm anything I did with you, but I'd like to at  
least correct the impression people have that it's "dead" or "not  
maintained".

Thanks for your time,
