Hi, I maintain the Debian package of TeleGNOME; I took it over from Joop Stakenborg quite a few years ago. I haven't done a whole lot with it in a while, but recently life became a little more interesting as the Debian GNOME team are trying to get rid of some of our old GNOME 1 packages, which of course take out TeleGNOME along with them. I don't like seeing software die when it doesn't need to, so I decided I'd see how hard it would be to port TeleGNOME to GNOME 2. It turns out it isn't really all that difficult; I have a few bugs to shake out but I now have something that basically works. (I'm currently using libsoup for HTTP access, but I think I might be better off using GIO/GVFS.)
I looked through the telegnome module history on svn-archive.gnome.org and found that there've been no commits since August 2002, and nothing but translation commits since May 2000. Is it fair to say that you aren't interested in maintaining TeleGNOME any more? If so, I'd like to become its new maintainer, get the project moved back from the archive to svn.gnome.org, and start committing the work I've done. If not, perhaps I can get my patches into a more reasonable state, send them your way, and we can work on a new upstream release. With the extent of the changes I have I don't think I can sanely do them in the Debian package. I would probably need your help in reclaiming the SourceForge project, which is currently marked as "no longer under active development".
