I have stated from the beginning that I'm more than happy to get people more involved. When it has come up before I've said I'd gladly give people commit rights. There are only a couple of people who have contributed with any degree of frequency where that would make sense - Josh Cole and Mike Innes come to mind, for example.

I will certainly not stand in the way of the community and we're more than happy to help maintain.

My point was that the community needs more support from you in order to be able to contribute meaningfully. This involves actively finding people who would be willing to take over the project and working with them to help them get started.

Simply dropping the code on GitHub and saying that you're glad for people to get involved is not a sufficient level of support at this point. This might've worked when the project was younger and smaller, but it's just too big for people to be able to dive into now. The links I provided are a prime example of the problem.

Since you found the time to make a blog post about Eve, surely you could also make a post stating that you're looking to hand over Light Table and you'd like to help facilitate the transition.

That's fair. I'll get on it.
