hiatus

[Nathan Walp]

Hi all,

As some of you may have noticed, I haven't been around much.  The 
original cause was moving to a new state and starting a new job.  The 
current cause is loving that new job.  I'm having a blast, but it has 
definitely cut into the amount of time I have available to devote to 
Pidgin and libpurple.

So, I guess I'll make it official and declare myself to be on hiatus.  I 
say this mainly because the list of bugs assigned to me seems to grow by 
the day, and I'm just not going to get to them any time soon.  That 
isn't fair to everyone else, and I apologize as this email probably 
should have come sooner.

As far as my position on the board goes, luckily the time commitment 
there is relatively minor, as are the duties.  I'll happily remain on 
the board, unless there's consensus that I should do otherwise.

I'll still do some work on pidgin/libpurple, but I wouldn't expect too 
much from me.  Luckily, with several new developers and CPWs, 
development hasn't seemed to slow in my absence.  You guys have no idea 
how pleased I am about that.

Thanks all, and have a happy new year!

-Nathan
