[Pybackpack] pybackpack Digest, Vol 24, Issue 1

[AndreaT]

Hi Andrew,
congratulations for making pyBackpack during these year, that's a good software.
Why don't you think about to pass the project, source code, website,
mailing list etc to some volunteers?
That way PyBackpak will survive :-)
Thanks

AndreaT
