Futures

[James M Snell <ja...@gmail.com>]

Hey All,

I wanted to let you know that due to a variety of changes in day job 
activities and just regular everyday life stuff, I simply have not had 
the time to devote the attention necessary to Abdera.  First, on the day 
job front, I have recently shifted focus at IBM away from social 
networking and syndication technologies and am moving into security 
technologies. On the personal front, my wife has recently become a full 
time student again meaning most of the extra time I had been devoting to 
work on things like Abdera is now being taken up by making sure our 
three kids are leaving mom alone so she can study.  Unfortunately, it 
appears that the other main committers have also had life get in the way 
of helping to move things forward so I would like to invite others who 
have an interest in this project moving forward to please step up and 
volunteer to help keep things moving forward.

- James

Count me in. I want to specially contribute in the area of user guide - it
is pretty outdated.

Hi James,
I am interested in volunteering for Abdera. I have handy experience on using
Abdera and experienced in Java/Eclipse.
In recent past I had also submitted small patch to abdera. I am willing to
devote my extra time to Abdera cos' m bachelor yet ;)
