Sometimes it can get that way.
So, I'm looking for volunteers to take
over responsibility for doorbot and, if Iain doesn't want to do it
himself, hackhub.
Hackhub is a pretty simple python/Flask CRUD webapp so shouldn't be too
tricky to pick up for anyone that knows python and/or web development.
I had a look at this and it looks well written. Just to share my story I
was a computer programmer from the Z80 days when tinkering with the
hardware wasn't really doable. Cut 20 or so years and after getting
involved in my local hackerspace I was doing all sorts of things I never
knew about before.
These are some of my blog/photo posts:

doorbot involves a wider range of tech (but each bit is pretty simple):
electronic stuff to control the strike plate, an arduino to interface
that to the PC, and then another python/Flask webapp to provide the
interface to trigger opening the door from hackhub.
The code side of doorbot is at https://github.com/ormiret/doorbot
And a sketch of the circuitry plus some explanation of how it works:

I'm happy to go over any of the details with anyone who's willing to
take either of these on.
Looks pretty good.
Globally (I'm told) lots are chasing the Internet-of-Things type
solutions. I've been doing a similar thing for the Attiny85 which is
smaller and cheaper.
Regards
David
