Hi Jim,

The discussion back in February showed that, even though committers have not spent much time lately contributing new code to it, there is an active review of the activity occurring on the mailing list and people have volunteered time to at least review outside contributions. As Stefan remarked, putting it in the Attic pretty much closes the activity around it, as little as it is.

I personally have a renewed interest in the implementation and am in the process of reviving my apache account with the intention of being a constant presence here, and I hope I will be able to contribute as well. I am not sure if anyone reviewed the patches volunteered by Stefan yet, or the changes in forks elsewhere, but I am currently looking at that, too.

Thanks.

Liviu
