[Gnuplot-py-users] Call for volunteers to maintain Gnuplot.py

Hello,

It should be obvious to everybody by now that I haven't had the time or
energy to invest in Gnuplot.py for quite some time now.  When I
established the project, I used it almost daily.  But since I started my
current job five years ago, I haven't used Gnuplot.py more than a
handful of times.  And now that I am involved in another open-source
project (cvs2svn), I want to spend my limited available time on that
project.

For a long time this wasn't much of a problem, because Gnuplot.py did
most of the things people needed and didn't require much maintenance.
(Not that I can't think of nice new features to add, but...)

But now there are a few things that really need to be done:

- Support for numarray.  This is a relatively small job but very important.

- Get Gnuplot.py listed on http://www.python.org/pypi (The Python Cheese
Shop).

- Updated the documentation and website to point at the new Subversion
repository rather than the old CVS one.

- Look over and possibly integrate some patches that have been submitted
to the mailing list over the past months and years.

- Make a new release.  It's been ages, and a few things have changed.

Sooooo.....

Is there anybody out there who can program in Python and would be
interested in taking over the maintenance of Gnuplot.py?  I'd be happy
to help you get up to speed and answer occasional questions.

Yours,
Michael
