Is anyone still using this?

I'm considering doing some hacking on Lyntin.  I've been learning
Twisted lately, and I think it'd be neat to see if I can translate
Lyntin into a single-threaded non-blocking-I/O-based program built on
top of that framework.  The only practical upshot would be getting to
then use all the other tools Twisted provides, and I still don't yet
know what I will do with that capability.  The insults module for
doing fancy TTY stuff might be a good place to start.

Ideally I'd like to maintain as much compatibility as possible with
existing modules, but I haven't looked too much at the internals yet,
so I'm not sure how practical this is.

I may or may not ever finish this, but in case anyone cares, I'll be
keeping my WIP available via a public git repository at
git://git.ethermage.net/lyntin-wm -- I'm also going go go along with
the previous authors' inclinations and assign copyright for anything I
do to the FSF.

Right now, that repository only contains a cvsimport from the lyntin40
module here on SourceForge, and there're no hooks and no mailing list
for updates.  It may be a week or two before I get around to
publishing anything, depending on how much free time I find myself
with.  If things pick up enough for it to matter and anyone besides me
cares, I'll set up a web interface to the repo and some way for people
to get notified of updates.

Regards,
