So it looks like we failed to CC the public list on the discussions,
darn…
Ah, that explains my puzzlement. :(
This was discussed in a mail exchange with the Insight maintainer,
krege (the maintainer who picked up the rest of the itcl stack just
before the mass-retiring) and Bill Nottingham (the admin who did the
mass-retiring, who we CCed on the whole exchange). Krege agreed to
picking up iwidgets if it got unretired, but we didn't get any answer
from notting, not even a "no", just no reaction at all.
Krege's offer to pick up iwidgets was on Feb 8, the mass-retiring was
on Feb 6.
Yeah, first I see is this thread, which was 2 weeks after.
Anyhow, happy to help out... point me to the review and I'll be happy
to review it and get it revived.
