Sorry for my tardy response; travelling followed by
18 hour catch-up days.

Bart Massey at nearby Portland State University offered
to take responsibility for dirvish.  I gave him a server
image, and server access.  I haven't heard from him for
a while.  I presume he will read this and respond.

I'm too busy to do much more than keep the moin-moin
server running.  I hesitate to provide access to someone
I don't know well.  But if Bart is overwhelmed I'll hire
some local sysadmin help to help make a clean and secure
transfer to another site.

Everyone (including myself) loves dirvish the way it is,
"EXCEPT for this small change".  Different small changes
for everyone, some of them actually quite drastic.  The
fraught part of the handover is the worry that the new
owner will piss in the soup until he likes the flavor,
and everyone else will hate the changes. 

I'm hoping the new owner will offer the ancient perl/rsync
version forever, and fork any significant changes to a
new branch.  Call the new branch "hsivrid" if they change
to a push server model.  

Keith

P.S.  Pardon the "he" pronoun; a competent new owner 
may have any gender, or none.  In my limited experience,
guys are more likely to use their wedding tackle 
inappropriately, especially as a thinking device.
