How much work is currently required to maintain it?

It is a small module that does not need much maintenance work -
contrahery to Rivet.

It's about half the size of Rivet.

- The code should be refactored so that it is possible to compile
mod_tcl as a shared module and link it into a running Apache. Thats
mainly an autoconf/automake issue - just look at the mod_python or
whatever and do it like they do.
- Bugs, if any, should be fixed when they arise. It's not likely
because the functionality is not complex (most procedures have just one
line of code, so what...).
- Maybe some binaries for Windows can be precompiled and distributed -
for this, VC Express or higher is needed.
- Maybe the website can get a polish - my advise is to just install
wordpress (www.wordpress.org) to present some content and news. That's
not much work, I do it this way for Tloona (www.tloona.tk) and my
personal homepage.

Would you like to do the maintenance? I can probably find some time to
help out especially for the shared compiling thing. It would be a pity
if even this small and useful piece of software vanishes because there
is nobody looking after it.

If someone wants to commit to it, I can probably see about commit
access. But it's got to be someone relatively serious about doing
continuous work, otherwise it's just patches.
