Devalot Maintainership

[Isaac]

After many discussions with Peter, I will be taking over as lead
maintainer for Devalot. I'm excited about my new role, and I'd like
to thank Peter for laying the foundation for a great tool. I hope
that with the help of our growing community that we can take Devalot
to the next level.

With Peter's help, I have migrated Devalot to a Git repository,
setting my own branch as the master. Most of the Subversion branches
and tags were migrated into the new repository. I will try to merge
the previous trunk into the master branch soon, then work on making an
official release tarball.

Feedback on the new repository would be much appreciated.

At some point, we will also migrate the Devalot project site to my web
host, so keep your eyes open for more announcements.

Other things I'll be working on:
* Adding configuration options to turn search and pdf printing on/off
* Adding a "subscribe to page" feature.
* Adding history view.
* Creating a demo virtual machine with Devalot preconfigured.

I'm pretty excited about this. Isaac is an incredibly strong
developer who has accomplished some great things in his Devalot
development branch.

It will be nice to see a release created from that hard work. I look
forward to seeing that, and all the things made possible by Isaac
taking over as lead maintainer.

Good luck!

Hi Isaac,

This is great news, congratulations! I'm really looking forward to
seeing this new breath of life in the project progress!

I still actively use Devalot, and I'll be shortly leaving my morning
job to dedicate my time to freelance projects, so I'm expecting to use
it even more.

I've downloaded the latest git repository without problems, although I
did notice there is no .gitignore file in the root. I've found that
ignoring the configuration files, temp and log directories helps keep
things easier to manage.

Finally, I don't have much time at the moment, but I would love to
continue to add more code for internationalisation support when I get
chance! There is still quite a bit to do in this regard, but the
basics are all in place. Let me know if you have any doubts with that
side of the code.

All the best and good luck!

Sam
