Before a new admin is chosen, I think it would be a good idea to create a list of the tasks and responsibilities that the volunteer(s) would be taking on. It doesn't have to be a complete list, but just something that covers the major points. If you want to be an active developer (and I hope that you do, as you know the code better than anyone and can help others get up to speed), it would be nice to know what the admin(s) should be helping you with.
How about this ?

It is renamed as

If no objection, I will put in more effort complete the table. tj
Good stuff to see all this activity which is very timely in ensuring that hobbit/xymon has a viable future.
I am also keen to be involved. I've done quite a lot of custom tests
I take that as a Yes. You are tagged as Volunteer in Dev area.
mostly written in perl, devmon templates, custom graphs, etc. Good intentions to get an installable xymon package for MacOSX that would be good to get kicked along as part of this momentum.
David, I once created an OS X .pkg file from command line approach. But the package was just an binary untar, no package script actions from pre-flight,post-flight .pkg script. I am hoping to work on this again with your help.

Occasionally I've dived into the C source and diagnosed some bugs. Haven't read the doco enough either - keep finding hidden gems which I expect others may have missed as well.
I've poked around a bit in the source and written a lot of checkout scripts for web pages and other things. Unfortunately that was mostly at my last employer, and I may not be able to introduce Xymon to my current employer. That will severely any development I might do, but I can proofread docs for spelling and grammer, if not for technical accuracy...
I've also been doing a bit of end used support in the mailing list.
