Seeking help back in the land of Rhino

[Hannes Wallnoefer]

As the one who did most of the maintenance work on Rhino over the past 
years, I still have a lot of sympathy for Rhino and would love to see it 
moving on.

For my part I have found I don't have the time or mental bandwidth to 
lead that work (as I used to) or even contribute substantially. I also 
think Nashorn has far greater promise than Rhino, and in many regards is 
far ahead already (ECMA compliance, indy everywhere instead of slow 
property lookup or reflection, compiling large scripts ...).

I do have some suggestions for moving on with Rhino, however. Since 
they're off-topic here I'll post them on the Rhino list.
