I took it on when it was about to be ousted a few months back and have been trying to get it up to snuff but there have been several problems: 1) Hula is now partially mono. This should be fixable now that the mono guidelines are mostly nailed down. 2) Hula's licensing is a bit ambiguous. The COPYING file says "TODO". The web page says "An Open Source License". There's references to Novell's NetMail forming the Core of Hula under the LGPL. Some of the source reflects this and other pieces seem to be GPL and Apache. I haven't delved far enough in to see if these pieces can coexist in the project or if it has to be resolved by upstream. 3) Hula contains several pieces of code that should be external: libical, log4c, and sqlite. mono is included but a configure check properly excludes building it. 4) To the best of my knowledge the Hula package has never undergone a full review. It slipped in during the transition from fedora.us to Fedora Extras. 2 & 3 are a bit more work than I have time for right now. In view of 4, I'd like Hula to require a review before being unorphaned rather than the new maintainer being able to immediately build it. Shall I follow: http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/PackageEndOfLife with a note of: "Needs to be reviewed before being resurrected"? -Toshio
