That explains the silence as you muddled through the decisions of what
to do and how to handle it. Congratulations! :) I'm sure that being
able to work on such stuff full-time will allow you to develop some
great features.

And...if companies are investing in RSS as a format, then it seems
likely those companies will extert a stabilizing force on the format.
Something that's desperately needed, I figure.

Great, and thanks.

Noted... I haven't yet observed how much Syndir relies on the library,
but I'll cast about for an existing similar project, and failing that,
work on a replacement. (Bold words)

I do have one favor to ask... Would it be possible for you to export the
issues you currently have in RoundUp into a reasonable format, so that
we could import into a tracker we could maintain?

And if you're just sitting w/ nothing to do, indications of the subset
of issues that you know are reproducible and still exist would be great.

Thanks again, Dmitry, for the application, and for the gracious handoff.
