Tom,
First, many thanks for creating the firewall that I now use to replace the customized scripts from my earlier LRP/LEAF releases. I know of no better way to say how much I (and many others, I'm sure!) appreciate your work than to let you know it is being used in production environments.
Having supported my own LRP/LEAF distributions, I can fully appreciate your reasons for needing to step aside, and the mixture of emotions that creates.
I feel it is safe to say that Shorewall will not go quietly into the night, and that it will take many dedicated people to shoulder the burden you've been carrying for quite some time.

You are not letting us down in any way. The contribution you've made to everyone using shorewall is immense, and realized everytime someone downloads a version of shorewall or reads any of the (excellent) online documentation.
As others have offered, I can provide any hosting services (via existing CoLo servers) that might be required and cannot be fulfilled by sourceforge. In addition, I am beginning to have a bit more free time and may be able to help with ongoing development.

Those of us who use (and will hopefully continue to use) shorewall will always remember your dedication, your tireless responses to queries for help, the quality of your code, and the effort you expended which made our burdens lighter.
For all this and more, thank you!
