my status and a call for help

I've got more school work than I can effectively handle.  In order to 
concentrate on school, I've got to put a hold on my PyBlosxom work. 
Given that, I won't get to the current list of outstanding things any time 
soon where "current list" is essentially any requests, patches, bug-fixes, 
or enhancements that have been sent to this list or the pyblosxom-users 
list that haven't been done or passed on.

Given that, I'd really like to bring someone else on as a developer, give 
them checkin privs, and dump the workload (or as much of it as they feel 
is appropriate to deal with) on them.  If anyone is interested (please 
please please), let me know.

If no one offers to help and the developers who currently have checkin 
access don't handle the list of things, then I'll continue to toss things 
as they come in into my todo list and try to work through the queue in 
December and January when I have winter break.

I think the PyBlosxom code itself is good enough, though I'm still in the 
middle of upping the quality of the code and adding tests.  The two things 
I'm concerned about that I think need an active developer are the 
contributed plugins and the PyBlosxom manual.

That's where things stand with PyBlosxom.

On a side note, if you send me any email, I'll try to respond within a 
week, but I can't promise a better response than that.  Already I've been 
pretty remiss for the last month.

On a side side note, it's better to track bugs, bug-fixes, patches and 
feature requests in the bug-tracker rather than sending email to this 
list.  It's better in the sense that putting your thing in the bug tracker 
increases the probability that the thing gets tracked over its full life 
cycle and doesn't get lost in the shuffle.  Discussing things on this list 
is great.  Writing up a bug and discussing the issues on this list is 
great, too.

Action items for everyone:

  - volunteer to help if you can
  - wish me luck in my studies
  - rock on!
