Thanks for the offer, Stephen. But the CVS repository and even the complete
WML-related infrastructure (webarea, FTP area, accounts, etc.) are no problem.
A maintainer of WML can start working immediately with the existing and good
infrastucture. That's all no problem. What we need is mainly _manpower_ (which
here means know-how and free time), anything else is already established and
is provided by me for him. 

So, to take over the WML maintainance job is mainly a matter of interest to
spend time on this project.  The qualification is just that the maintainer was
already a WML user (i.e. he knows what WML is, how it's designed and how its
concepts work) and has knowledge in Perl & C programming. For any real
deep-level issues I'm still available (although perhaps with a little
delay...).
