Hey Rob,

I'm sorry to see you go, and more sorry that I haven't be contributing as
much as I would have liked to  / should have. However, I do fully
understand your position - I've been in the same place myself with my
open-source projects. I would like the awesome stuff that you have done
with DNR to live on in some form. From a my perspective I will at the very
least work on a fork of DNR as my company has a bunch of tools and services
built on the libraries. However, if others are also willing to step up I'd
be happy to talk about carrying the project as an open-source effort.

If anyone else on this list would like to discuss if/how the project
proceeds, speak up now guys!

Cheers

Kal
