dive into mark

I am looking for maintainers for the following projects (contact mark@diveintomark.org):

• Ultraliberal feed finder. No known bugs.
• Ultraliberal feed parser. Several pending patches.
• PyAmazon. No known bugs.
• PyBlogger. Currently broken (Blogger changed their API endpoint, and the old endpoint just stopped redirecting recently).
• PyGoogle. One pending patch to work with current SOAP libraries.
• PyManila. One pending patch.
• PyTechnorati. Unsure of current status; has the API changed?
• PyTextile. Several pending patches for Textile 1 support, needs to be overhauled to support Textile 2.
• xfmllib. No known bugs.

The following projects are end-of-lifed:

• PySiteStats. A quick hack that I no longer use.
• Recommended Reading. A proof-of-concept; far superior independent implementations are now built into systems like Bloglines.

My photo galleries are offline until further notice. They were increasingly expensive to maintain, finally generating over 1 GB of traffic per day in normal interactive use (never mind the occasional robotic abuse). Now that I have my own server and a new hosting plan, I have more bandwidth available at a lower price, but I don’t have that much.

I also had a great plan for transitioning a selection of my older posts to a new site. I would like to reiterate how detailed and well-thought-out a plan it was, in a feeble attempt to excuse how magnificently I bungled it. There are now scattered 404s among my archives, but rest assured they will turn into 301s soon enough. Until then, individual reports of broken links are not especially helpful, since I will be writing scripts to bulk-redirect them all en-masse.
