It seems to me that although there are several people connected with the project who are exceedingly enthusiastic about OpenGuides, and likewise several people who I feel could take this task over from me, these groups don't overlap at all. In other words, I don't think any of the people who are likely to want to take over from me are quite ready for it just yet, and I don't think any of the people who could handle the job are likely to both want it and have time to do it.
I am certainly NOT this person -- not enough Perl juju coursing through my veins, to start with.
However, would it be possible for you to train one of the enthusiastic but not-yet-ready people to take over the job? Hand-hold the person through the first few releases, then step back?
