I'm hoping that someone else will come forward. My reasons for not 
already having volunteered are:

- I'm about to start a new job and will need to invest time in that;

- I don't have the requisite knowledge of things such as autoconf, XML, 
CVS, and other things that seem fairly essential to the project; 
learning about these things is interesting but only feasible given 
enough time (see above);

- I don't have a lot of different UPnP-AV devices with which to test 
interoperability;

- Although a number of features could usefully be added (e.g. 
incremental rescan of the library upon SIGHUP), gmediaserver now does 
everything I need it to do.

Cheers, Jan
