Hi, I couldn't answer before but I am a bit (sad) surprised nobody answered. I'm a happy user of Geode. Do you have the current download stats? Am I the only one or we are millions but nobody wants to help?
About help, I would be happy to discuss the requirements for build it, CI it, and manage it. To see what I can do from there. Would it be possible to move it to another foundation or something at Apache should stay at Apache forever even if it means going to the Attic?
