Greetings list members,

I need to tell you all that I won't be able to look at *any* issue on 
Capistrano until *at least* the middle of September of this year. I'm very 
sorry for the lack of service and time.

I'm switching from working in a full-time job to running my own freelance 
agency; switching from full-time 8-hours per day to "working enough to pay 
the bills" means that I have to shift my priorities a little; essentially 
Capistrano moves to the bottom of the list behind projects that pay, and 
projects which pay me to work on open source.

I'm looking for a volunteer who will assist me during this time (or 
volunteers) who like to start with 
no<http://gettingreal.37signals.com/ch05_Start_With_No.php>, 
and are interested in maintaining, but not moving Capistrano's boundaries.

It's a tool that is used by many tens of thousands of developers and I'm 
looking for someone who isn't afraid to be "in the background" and just do 
what is needed without the fame and the money (hint, there's no fame or 
money)

Please keep all discussion about this on-list, I'd prefer not to get bogged 
down in discussions one-on-one with anyone.

What you get:

   - No fame or money
   - Github commit access
   - Rubygems access *(upon proving that we can work together)*
   - Mailing list admin rights

For anyone concerned about the future of the project, don't be dismayed, I 
will continue to do my best to oversee quality control, and that the 
project direction doesn't change. If a strong maintainer who's philosophy 
is inline with the project comes forward and does a better job than I have 
been doing, I'll step aside in the long run; but we're not talking about 
that yet.

I love my work on Capistrano, and f anyone wants to make sure I have more 
time to continue my contributions they should hire me to work on your 
project <http://lee.hambley.name/hire_me.html>, or to sponsor continued 
open source development if you find this tool useful.

Thanks, 

 Lee
