It was= also my first python project, so it was a lot of fun learning python while also creating something useful. But after that, I stopped working on it and it was mostly Yocto folks who contributed changes here and there. I never had time and enough motivation = to maintain the project further, but other folks helped. Simon McVitte was active maintainer, but he said he does not have time for = it now as well. The project is in "github.com/intel" space, and Intel is going to archive t= he git repository soon. This basically means the repository becomes read-only = soon. Would Yocto community have enthusiasts to fork it and maintain the fork? Thanks, Artem.
