I am about to retire from my 'day job' and will therefore have little further association with acadaemia/research in general or R in particular. I am currently maintainer for the 3 mapping packages maps, mapdata and mapproj.

Is there anyone out there who would be willing to take this on?

I have had an offer from someone who is prepared to act as a backup in the case that nobody else is interested, as a better option than letting those packages become orphaned. However because he has a young family at home he has indicated that he would gladly defer to someone who had the time and inclination.

The 3 packages have recently been updated to incorporate changes necessitated by the R-devel version of check.

So please reply as soon as possible if you may be interested in this. Note that from next week, my official address will auto-respond to indicate I no longer work there, but I will still have access to that account and will be checking it during August (but not September or October).
