David,
Congrats and all the best for your new job. I guess you already have
experienced how a 'real job' feels, now the difference might only be the fact
that you get 'real money' ;)
However, I hope you'll be around and help to community grow, as of my part I'd
be happy to contribute (we already use timeline/exhibit productive and plan
more) to it.
Whatever is needed in the following areas: RDFa, GRDDL, microformats, etc. I
volunteer to document, promote and/or help to develop.
Keep up the great work!
Cheers,
Michael

Subject: My departure + the future of Timeline and Exhibit
Hi all,
As you might know, I have recently finished my Ph.D. study, and within a
few months I'll be moving on to a "real job" at Metaweb.
The Metaweb folks have been kind to let me dedicate some time toward
open source involvement, which means that I can continue to work on
Timeline, Exhibit, etc. to some extent.
However, it is clear that I won't be able to dedicate as much time to
those projects as I can right now. So, it is crucial that we arrange for
more people to get involved in those projects so that those projects
continue to thrive.
One possibility is to move the code bases onto an open source foundry,
such as Google Code, and invite the more programming capable among
yourself to maintain and improve them further. Note that this solution
is even better than the current situation, as there will be more capable
people involved than just me alone. Together we'll work out the
knowledge transfer, etc. etc. over the next few months.
Please don't hesitate to chime in here if you have other ideas or just
want to speak your mind. The worst thing that can happen is that nobody
expresses their concerns, no transition gets made, and the good code
just withers away.
Thanks,
David
