Tell me about it, I administer a number of lists where the majority of
traffic is (bounced) spam.

However I don't think that the project is entirely dead - I still think
there is a need for a pure Perl XSLT processor and I know that there are
some people using out in the wild.  I have had some recent offers of
development help and I am planning to write an article on the efficacy of
the XML::XSLT approach against using an external xslt C library sometime
this summer - unfortunately my development time is rather thinly spread at
the moment, I am intending to make a new release to CPAN before the
autumn however as there are a number of new changes in the CVS which
people will find useful.  Not dead just pining for the Fjords.

I think that the xmlxslt-devel list should stay - I'm quite happy to take
over as administrator, the other one I have no feelings about, if anyone
else has any feelings shout up and I will administer that as well.
