Just want to make sure everybody knows that attic doesn't mean "deleted". The code will be accessible and we'll make a pointer to it. It is just an indicator that there is nobody working on it (I just have not the time to learn the skills :-(). When ever a group of people (I guess 3 to 5 would make it happen) come together and *want* to maintain it, we can get it back from the attic without big pain. So, if you have finished your book (curious about what you write!) you have a chance to revive it.
