Well, I see that it hasn't been updated in awhile - like 6 years.
Unless I missed it, no license is specified in the doc, which iirc
means it is by default under the LDP license. So if it is in fact
unmaintained, we can assign a new maintainer. But we need to make sure
it is really unmaintained.
Does anybody know if any of the authors, Sven Goldt, Sven van der Meer,
Scott Burkett and Matt Welsh, are still interested in maintaining it?
Should it be considered unmaintained? I will send off a note and
double check all the listed email addresses and let you know what
happens.
BTW, ferg & poet, this guide isn't on our guides.html list except
under "non-english linux". Looks like it was omitted by accident.
