Hi,
     According to this github issue:


"Twilio no longer maintains stashboard"

Which is fine, totally Twilio's prerogative. But the demo version of stashboard no longer works: 


Now it only says: 

Python 2.5 is no longer available. Please refer to https://goo.gl/aESk5L for more information.

And the project has not had an update in three years. But the website still reads as if the project is alive and kicking, encouraging adoption of what is apparently a dead project. 

If this is correct, then the webpage at http://www.stashboard.org/ Should tell the actual status of the project. The following questions should be answered on that homepage as per standard Open Source community protocol:

* If Twilio is not maintaining, but is interested in someone else doing so, it should offer that information and offer to hand the keys of the various sites (i.e. domain name and github ownership) over to a new maintainer if someone wants to come forward. 
* If there is someone already maintaining a github fork that should be the new project home, please mention that. 
* If the project is retiring in favor of another obvious open source status board, it should say that. 
* If the project is simply not going to be maintained and not passed along it should say that. 

As it is, this project continues to attract attention in a way that prevents other efforts from gaining traction. Please act in a way that clarifies what the future of the project is, even if that is bleak. 

Nothing, says that Twilio owes the FOSS community support for this project forever, but there are certain polite obligations for either retiring or maintaining projects that are not being honored here. 

Regards,
-Fred Trotter

Hi Fred, With a little bit of work it's possible to get this running and it is good value for what it costs :)

You may want to have a look at Cachet or Staytus as alternatives.
