It's a shame to hear that you're unable to keep up the great work with Pyblosxom, Wari. Although I'm rather new to the Pyblosxom scene, I have noticed that there are a few others who seem to be likely candidates to take over the project. Will seems to be right up there, but I don't want to presume too much. I have a concern about placing Pyblosxom in a maintenance state before it reaches version 1.0. It seems to me that Pyblosxom is very stable. It has an excellent code base, and it seems to be really grabbing the attention of webloggers. For developers and people familiar with the open source/free software scene, using a pre 1.0 piece of software isn't that big of a deal. We know that it's just versioning, and that there is a lot of great software which is pre 1.0. I assume that it is a goal of everyones to get programmer types and end users alike to use Pyblosxom (let me know if that's not the case). I feel that many end users are turned off by pre 1.0 software, believing that maybe it's buggy, or incomplete in some way. So the question is, is Pyblosxom complete? I've seen throughout the lists and on the wiki that there seems to be quite a few ideas floating around out there, regarding feature additions and improving certain aspects of the codebase. I guess what I'm saying is that it would be a shame to put Pyblosxom into maintenance mode now, when it's picking up so much steam. Wari, you seem to have provided excellent leadership on this project, and hopefully you might find the time to continue doing so in the future. Hopefully someone can step in and keep the ball rolling. I'm a python coder too, though my skills aren't up to par with Wari and Will, and I would love to help out however I can. I'm starting to get familiar with the code base, and will continue to study it until I feel like I can start contributing in useful ways. Also, I'm going to keep working on the documentation, towards the end of adopting new users.
