Earlier this week, pump.io creator Evan Prodromou announcedthat, due to budget and time pressures, he was looking to move pump.iointo a community-governed project structure. "Ideally, what I'dlike to do is transfer the copyrights, domains and data to anon-profit that could collect donations to keep the serversrunning. Budget-wise, it's about $5K/year, including servers, domainregistration, and SSL certs. It'd also be great if some of the peoplewho have been sending in pull requests could start working on thesoftware directly. There are a lot of PRs backed up."Subsequently, interested community members met to hash out a plan, andhave now reportedtheir plans. Pump.io will apply to be a member project of theSoftware Freedom Conservancy, and Prodromou has started grantingadministrative and commit privileges to several other developers. Itis not yet clear how maintenance for Prodromou's current crop ofpump.io servers will be handled, but the community does appear to becoalescing into a more active project.
