+
+Since November 2012 I've been maintaining [rss2email][], a package
+that converts [RSS][] or [Atom][] feeds to email so you can follow
+them with your mail user agent.  Rss2email was created by the late
+[Aaron Swartz][AS] and maintained for several years by [Lindsey
+Smith][LS].  I've added a [mailing list][ml] (hosted with [[mlmmj]])
+and [PyPI package][pypi] and made the GitHub location the homepage.
+
+Overall, setting up the standard project infrastructure has been fun,
+and it's nice to see interest in the newly streamlined code picking
+up.  The timing also works out well, since the [demise of Google
+Reader][GR] may push some talented folks in our direction.  I'm not
+sure how visible rss2email is, especially the fresh development
+locations, hence this post ;).  If you know anyone who might be
+interested in using (or contributing to!) rss2email, please pass the
+word.
