Re: [Hobbitmon-developer] Xymon is practically dead

I agree that Xymon development has been pretty much non-existant the
past couple of years. A number of things have conspired to make it
so, but the short of it is that I cannot seem to put together the
necessary energy to complete the 4.3.0 release. And that kind of
puts a stop to the next steps.

Is anyone interested in taking
over the formal responsibility (if such a thing exists) of
maintaining and/or developing Xymon ? Although I still think
of Xymon as "my baby", I wouldn't mind someone else taking charge
of the project - in fact, it might be the change that could get me
away from the non-productive project-management chores and into a
somewhat more active developer role.

Before a new admin is chosen, I think it would be a good idea to create a list of the tasks and responsibilities that the volunteer(s) would be taking on. It doesn't have to be a complete list, but just something that covers the major points. If you want to be an active developer (and I hope that you do, as you know the code better than anyone and can help others get up to speed), it would be nice to know what the admin(s) should be helping you with.
