Yes I would be more than happy to help out :)

I'll contact you offlist in that regard, yet in the meantime, to share
with the list, here is the URL to the article I mentioned that I
published last year:
http://northtech.us/content/20110311/adding-convenient-layers-persistent-abstraction-simplify-remote-administration

Looks like I'll be writing up a few more articles soon too!

I've also wrote to the Slackware package maintainer of record asking if
he would like me to take over maintenance of it. I wrote to him last
year advising that version 0.6.2 was available at the now defunct
website but there was no update to the Sbo.

I also maintain binary packages of Twin which are available here:

gopher://gopher.northtech.us/9/software/packages/twin-0.6.2-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz

I get between 10 and 20 downloads a month of this package myself, which
is pretty good considering that I only make it available via the Gopher
protocol, and it's a 64bit only package for a single, particular Linux
distribution.

If I'm named the maintainer of the SBo for twin, I'll be maintaining in
both 32 and 64 bit versions, and I have plans for creating RPMs for
CentOS, Scientific Linux, and Mageia, as well as a more current Debian
package as part of my repo.

Well, thanks for such a wonderful product - one that came from thinking
outside of the box, and therefore has more utility than many quite
understand.

I was beginning to get worried whether something had happened to you
after everything was silent for so long.

Kindest regards,
