What does this mean for the future of nanomsg's development?

The project was take over by Garrett D'Amore so it's up to him to decide on its future.

A dedicated chan on IRC maybe?

EDIT: Also: I might take part if the "Finish it" weekend takes place, provided my wife takes care of the kids long enough.
