I guess the next question is - who will be maintaining mindboggle?

I don't think that it is likely that moving mindboggle to the nipy org
will help much in attracting developers, although putting it on the
project pages might (thanks for doing that Ariel).

Has anyone got any other suggestions for keeping mindboggle in good
health?  It's always a difficult problem...
