Right now, the archiver demos just eat Mailman mbox files for lunch (in
theory they could be even integrated with a 2.1 installation) so
splitting should be easy from a technical standpoint.
But there's only a handful of developers working on this, and I think
the overhead, however small, is more than it's worth at the moment. So
maybe we could keep them integrated for now until it's more clearly a
win to split the tree off?
Mostly, I don't want my own project right now: I'm worried that I'd wind
up being a blocker on something due to limited time over the next 6
months. I mean, these demos were done in August and I'm just posting
them to the list now... We can revisit splitting it off when I have more
time or more help. :)
Meanwhile, I'll get in touch with Priya and Yian and see about copyright
assignment and getting those branches merged into somewhere appropriate
in the tree.
