should be no problem finding people to do that :-}

as David says, I think that James should be given a chance to have a
good think about this. If he is happy to hand over Jade to a Web-based 
maintenance committtee, all well and good. If not, it would only be
polite to start a new `product' with a new name (albeitt based on
James' code, since he is generous in his licensing).

of course, if someone volunteered to rewrite Jade so that the backends 
were something like plugins which could be maintained entirely
separately.....
