Tim: you're right that there isn't much interest among the current Twisted core
development team. But the whole point of having a Git mirror (and a presence
on Github, which I think is the next step) is to attract new developers to this
community.
That's why the topic of this thread is "Twisted Project Jobs Volunteer". We're
asking for someone with expertise in this area to step up, volunteer to help
maintain this mirror, which should help us attract more people who are
interested in the same going forward.
Is that person you? You're already maintaining the wiki page - and your
participation in this thread has probably taken more time than the setup would
have, if you have the relevant knowledge :). Is there something you're
missing? Some administrative credential, perhaps? Information about where the
relevant code lives? If you're up for continuing on this, I'm sure we can get
you whatever you need :).
Thanks,
