"Homesteading the Noosphere" problems on Zebra

If the assessment of the situation is correct (I don't know because I don't participate in the development), then please fork the project. Forking the project should not be considered as disrespect to the original developer. In a certain way, it's admitting that the existing code is so good that it's better to continue its development than to start from scratch.

I had one project "stolen" from me by forking, and I don't regret it. I even send users to the new project instead of the one I cannot develop anymore.

Competition is good. It motivates the developers. Although there may be some code duplication, the really important features will be copied to the other branch.

And by the way, make sure that the new maintainer cares about quality of the contributed code, otherwise the original author will soon laugh at you.
