Hi all,

As many of you have likely noticed, there has not been much activity on the Xapian-Haystack backend for Django-Haystack. Between work and family, I have unfortunately, not been able to find the time that I would like to spend on this project. As a result, work on the project has more or less ground to halt (this is why the 2.0 branch hasn't seen any activity in months).

At this time I think it might be best for me to ask the community if there's anyone out there may be interested in taking over maintenance and/or further development of the backend. I'd still like to make contributions, and continue to hope to find time to do so in the future, but do not want to mislead users into thinking that I will have time to do so.

I will continue to do my best to answer questions for the backend (as well as for Django-Haystack itself) and should my situation change in the future, will absolutely return to actively developing the backend with suggestions and fixes the community has requested.
