Well done, Ben. That's a tough thing to say - giving away the baby isn't
easy.

Does anyone feel that they can take over the project from Ben? I don't
think I can commit the time it needs, but it would be a shame to see either
Ben be "forced" to continue with it or the project die.

While one person to take over is preferable, if that fails is there a core
of people that would be prepared to co-ordinate patch integration and
releases?
