Hi Fellow Rubyists,

I’ve recently been trying to contact the maintainer of mod\_ruby, Shugo  
Maeda, to offer my assistance with maintenance and hosting for the  
mod\_ruby project since [modruby.net](http://modruby.net) and the subversion repository seem  
to have fallen into disrepair. I tried emailing him directly, and  
posting to the English mod\_ruby list, but so far I have not heard back  
from him.

I have code in production that uses mod\_ruby extensively, as well as a  
web framework that depends on it, so I have a vested interest in its  
continued maintenance. I have a few patches and bugfixes I’d like to  
submit, I’m in the process of getting the documentation converted to  
RDoc, and I’m ready to set up and maintain a repository and related  
systems if necessary, but I don’t want to be rude and not talk to him  
first.

Does anyone know how I may contact him? Thanks in advance for any help  
you might be able to offer.

I’d start by writing core instead of talk. You’ll trawl a richer pond.
