Let me just add, in general, that the project really only moves forward based on contributions. It seems that nobody is interested in this area because there are no contributions and no one volunteers to maintain it.
Historically, I think much of this was developed by IBM who had a stronger interest in SNMP-based devices. IBM apparently chose to stop investing in OpenHPI some time ago, so their developers stopped contributing to the project. While the individual engineers (especially Renier and Peter) have been responsive to off-list questions when necessary, they are just following the investment choices of their employer. We may want to consider a process to move such pieces to an "unsupported" designation, or remove them entirely. It is unfortunate when new people try to use portions of OpenHPI that no longer work or are actively developed.
