Merging Genshi Py3k to trunk

[Simon Cross]

Greetings

Now that the year is more or less underway I'd like to push for the
inclusion of the Genshi Py3k branch in Genshi trunk. The Genshi Py3k
branch was announced at the beginning of December [1] and there
haven't been any complaints to the list or bugs filed as far as I can
tell [2].

Obviously a prerequisite is to find someone will to commit the merge
which probably means finding a Genshi maintainer. There are also a few
other important issues languishing in the bug tracker that could do
with some poking.

If someone wants to give me commit access I'm happy to step forward
and fix bugs and such when they arise. I have no grandiose plans to
rewrite Genshi but I do use it as part of my day job and have a vested
interest in seeing it maintained for the foreseeable future. I can
probably also convince the local Python Users Group (who created the
Py3k branch) to conduct bug fixing sprints every now and then.

Thoughts?

That's great news!

Obviously that "someone" can only be Christopher, and I would be
personally very happy if he would decide to do so.

That sounds good, and I'm very much in favor of getting you a commit bit. Christian, you'll do that, right?

Sorry all for dropping the ball again after the short spike of excitement around the 0.6 release. This project really needs some fresh blood to take over.

Thanks,

Woot -- and thanks for the vote of confidence. :)

No apologies needed -- thank you for creating Genshi and maintaining
it for so long.
