Over the next week I'll take a more in-depth look at the codebase and the
mailing list archives and draw up a todo which I'll then post to the list. We
can distill it down to several small milestones on the website. I'm keen for
Maypole to be a community-driven project, but I think we need to keep the
development focused.
If everyone's happy with that, I'll take over the role of Maypole maintainer.
I think Sebastian will need to pass maintainership or make me a co-maintainer
via PAUSE.
I want to make clear that I really appreciate the work that Sebastian and
others have done on Maypole and I'll be watching Catalyst's progress with
interest.
