Who's running it?

Demandred is administrating the server(s), and maintains a presence on Stuph. Ventric has been seen with some regularity, and Fraun has been providing development advice for the Pythonic aspect, which Demandred doesn't yet comprehend...

Current Status

Demandred has made progress at improving some of the more "legacy" aspects of Stuph. It now compiles to a 64-bit executable, so that it can link with system-wide libraries installed on its 64-bit home. Other developments are in the pipeline. Compilation of a roadmap, or at least a wishlist, will commence shortly.
