Tom has pretty much hit the nail on the head here.

It's true that I have pretty much stopped working on Xymon development.
I am not quite sure why, but for some time it has just seemed to be
more of a tedious chore than something I would look forward to. I think
the task of getting all the documentation lined up for 4.3.0 (that is the
main outstanding issue for that release) just doesn't seem all that
appealing...

So I would really welcome someone who would be willing to take over the
project management / admin tasks. Even if it were just as a co-admin,
it would still be nice to have someone else with the enthusiasm that
is necessary to push the project forward.

For me, the ideal would be if I could focus on writing code instead of
running the project.

So if you have the ambition and energy of trying to run this project,
please speak up. Choosing a (co-)admin for Xymon is an important
decision, and one that definitely needs some community involvement.
All of you must feel comfortable with the person/persons we choose
for this task.
