[Tkinter-discuss] Looking for maintainer / hosting for tkinter wiki

Hello all.
I have run a tkinter wiki (https://tkinter.unpythonic.net/) for many years. It
doesn't see much traffic, and my interests and hobby time allocation haven't
really aligned with it for quite some time.
Consequently, I am looking for someone to take over maintainance and hosting of
the site.
Right now it is hosted on atlantic.net with a "GO"-size instance (1 vCPI, 256MB
RAM, 10GB disk) running debian jessie x86_64 and moin 1.9.x. Webserver
is apache2. Letsencrypt is used for the https certificate, via the
'simp_le' client. Looking at one day's apache logs there are <3000 HTTP
requests per day.
I can supply a copy of the full disk or just the webroot for tkinter (5.7GB and
1.4GB respectively, uncompressed), or rsync/root access for a new maintainer to
effect transfer to a new system.
(Unfortunately, atlantic.net's API doesn't seem to support transferring
to another user, which otherwise would be a great way for a new
maintainer to take over the system)
If possible I'd like to terminate my maintainance and hosting of
tkinter.unpythonic.net "sometime this spring". I am holding on to
unpythonic.net, so I can probably supply redirection (either by a DNS
CNAME or a HTTP 302 redirect) indefinitely, but will commit to doing it
for at least 2 years.
If you would like to take over this duty, please contact me off-list and
make sure to include the words "tkinter wiki" in the subject line.
If another maintainer doesn't step up, I may pull the plug on the wiki
sometime after May 31, 2017.
Jeff
