Hi folks,

My sincere apologies for the complete and utter abandonment of Sup and
Heliotrope. It's a constant source of emotional distress to me, but I do
not have time to do anything with these projects any more. (Including
monitoring this mailing list, which long ago fell victim to an
overly-aggressive filtering rule.) I apologize.

But I'm thrilled to see that there is enough community momentum to keep
things going. I'd love to enable this as best I can. What is the list of
things you need from me to take over maintenance of Sup?

1. Add some new owners to the sup gem. (Who?)
2. Add some administrators to the Rubyforge page. (Who?)
3. What else?

Hello William

Nice to hear from you again.

Life happens.

Does the rubyforge page manage these email lists? It would be good to
be able to admin them.

It's a long shot, but any chance you have some back ups of the old
wiki before it got spammed into oblivion?  We've recovered what we can
and started re-writing what we can't, but it would be lovely to get a
dump of the old wiki (in whatever format).

As to who - Gaute Hope appears to have been the most active in the
recent renaissance, so I would definitely give him access. Then as we
sort ourselves out Gaute can give others access. (Not that I'd oppose
others, but it would be good to get at least one person on quickly).

Hamish

Hi William and list,

No stress and its nice to hear from you again.

I would be happy to take over that responsibility (and share it with for instance Hamish and Matthieu for starters, which I can fix afterwards of course).  

I will most likely stay interested in the project for a long time, but it will definitely vary how much time I can spend - so lets quickly get someone else on the admin part as well.

Perhaps put a note up on the Gitorious sup organization (to avoid confusion)?

As you may know we have put up an organization on GitHub we would be happy to add you there (if for nothing else than as an honorary member).  

It is great to be able to continue the original project and not fork it off which definitely would loose some of the original community. Thanks for sharing it!

Cheers, Gaute

Is #sup @ freenode something that is in sup control? Not very important perhaps, but just to make sure it doesnt get spammed..

Ok, Gaute, I've added you as an admin of the Rubyforge page, and admin
of the Gitorious project, and as an owner of the gem. Let me know if for
some reason I've screwed any of that up. Rubyforge adminship should
allow you to change the contents of sup.rubyforge.org and administer the
mailing lists.

The freenode channel was set up by someone else... I don't remember who.
I only used it once.

Let me know what else I can do.

Unfortunately, I do not. I didn't save any myself, and the Rubyforge admin
pages don't give you anything magical here.

Hi William,

Thanks, this looks good. I will add Hamish and Matthieu as
administrators as well.

Regards, Gaute

Hi William,

It's a sad thing you do not have time to spare on a project in which
you have put so much attention. Don't worry, we will take good care of
your code for you =]

I don't have much to add to the discussion, just a big thank you for
sup, heliotrope and the other gems (haha !) you have come up with.
Sometimes I wish other projects would read your code and take some
inspiration of the readability you have.

Anyway, see you around !

Ah, I thought maybe you had more control over the wiki. Now we have
access to rubyforge I've opened a support request about it -
https://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=29744&group_id=5&atid=102

Fingers crossed ...
