There was no irony. I had more hot pans that I could swing. Something 
had to give. Unfortunately that was Instiki.

I'm setting up a Trac for it, though. So it'll be easier to track bug 
reports and patches. Hopefully that'll encourage more people to help 
out.

For the moment, most of the patches on the wiki are feature additions 
that I'm not really terribly interested for the most part. Instiki 
already has too many features distracting from the original vision. 
When/if I resume work on Instiki, I'll be taking stuff out, not putting 
more in.

I very much disagree. How I see fit to administer my priorities will 
not be dictated by some misunderstood sense of obligation.

If your woes are critical, I can advice formalizing a request and 
attach a bounty. For the right amount, I'm sure there's a skillful Ruby 
hacker out there willing to help you out. (This is not irony either)
