Maintenance state (was Pyblosxom Documentation)

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.

Cheers,
Jesse Lawrence
