Hi All, 

It is very sad to hear nova-docker's retirement. Me and my team (3) are working for a cloud computing laboratory and we were very keen on working with nova-docker. 
After some research about its current state I saw these mails. Will you actually propose another equivalent to nova-docker or is it just the lack of contributors to this project? 
Some of the contributors previously advised us the magnum project instead of nova-docker, however it does not satisfy our needs because of the additional virtualization layer it needs. 
If the main problem is the lack of contributors we may participate in this project. 

Any o pinions?
