Hi Anthony and others, Thanks for your interest in keeping pytables alive. I've seen how you really tried to push pytables in some scenarios, and I really appreciate this :) Some other people have expressed interest in this endeavour too, but apparently nobody seems ready to put a lot of effort on it, which is understandable.
Given this, perhaps the best could be to setup a governance body. For example, Josh Moore told me that Jenkins (a monitor for repeated jobs) experimented something similar (i.e. the main developer stopped his work), and the project is now being governed by a reduced body of people. You can see how they coordinates here: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Governance+Meeting+Agenda I don't know if this solution would work effectively, but it is a possibility. On the other hand, a decision should be taken on where the future maintenance of the code is going to take place. As I said before, I plan to maintain the pytables.org site for at least a year, so the SVN repository in pytables.org can be used, so I can add people with commit rights pretty easily. Or, somebody may want to create a new fork, and use new infrastructure (like github, gitorious, bitbucket or any other people is comfortable with). It is up to you. Finally, I'll try to keep up with the messages on this list, and will help in the transition as much as my new responsibilities would allow. Thanks!
