That is sad news. His contributions were always welcome.

"In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to the ACLU."
Nice idea. I think I'll treat my g/f to one of these:

If you look back into the history, you'll see I was one of the
volunteers to when moderation was first proposed. IIRC, there were
7 or 8 of us, the others' identities have faded into mist now - all
I remember was that Scott Nudds wasn't one of them.

As I was kinda responsible for putting it into that state, I guess I
should also volunteer to maintain it, though with the same reluctance
and provisos as you.  "No new software" would be my #1 restriction. My
RasPi is very old, has a very old distro, so anything too fancy might be
an issue. Does anyone know the actual details of what's needed?
