Hi,

For the genmon plugin, I currently don't have enough time to continue
its maintenance.

So you're welcome to keep on maintaining the genmon plugin better than I do now.

It's a quite simple plugin, I'm sure it will be easy to cope with.

If you have any question, feel free to ask.

Regards,
Julien
