Damn, yeah that's pretty unloved. Weirdly the developer is still advertising consulting services for the project and allowing donations.

Given how popular the project is and the owner's absence, community ownership seems like a no-brainer.

I'm using newspaper for a new project and this has me wondering how hard it would be to either fork it or create a new repo and let the community run it... hrmm. For me it's not pressing right now but if it really stays stagnant then maybe.

I am using this lib too in one of our projects, I would be keen to do this.

How best do you think to structure this, move it into its own new org?

I also assume it would be good to try and get hold of the creator first?
