I use Net::SSH quite extensively so I was concerned about the future  
of the project when Jamis B. announced his departure from the  
project back in February. I really appreciate the time Jamis has put  
in to Net::SSH and I want to make sure the library continues to be  
maintained so I created a new repository at GitHub and will fill the  
role of interim maintainer:

> **[GitHub - net-ssh/net-ssh: Pure Ruby implementation of an SSH (protocol 2) client](https://github.com/net-ssh/net-ssh/)**
>
> Pure Ruby implementation of an SSH (protocol 2) client - GitHub - net-ssh/net-ssh: Pure Ruby implementation of an SSH (protocol 2) client

I have a hunch there are other developers out there who are willing  
and able to make contributions to the project. My intent is simply to  
help organize that effort. I plan to apply pull requests and patches  
but I do not plan to continue feature development myself at this time.  
For those interested in contributing, I’m happily accepting patches,  
pull requests, and even suggestions for minor changes. You can email  
me at removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid. If this is successful and/or helpful to  
the community, I’ll fork over Net::SCP and the rest of the crew as  
well.

A final note: I am not a security professional so if anyone has  
experience in this area and is interested in reviewing changes before  
they’re pulled into the repo please contact me.
