Would anyone be interested in adopting any of these?

I'm interested in calc and maybe some others, though my SlackBuilds
have kind of been on hold because of needing to make some major
improvements, and not knowing how, during family issues, so if
someone else wants that, fine: I just don't want to see it go.<br>

I hope someone takes ph and would consider it.<br>

As a heavy long-time user, I can safely say purple-facebook is dead:
all third-party Meta/FB/IG/WA stopped working years ago because of
their restrictions/breakage (except really restricted graphical
stuff maybe like running a web login in an electron client)<br>

That one is interesting/important but doubt I'll take it... quite a
several/few are; just don't want to get overloaded, but I want to
keep updated on what happens to dive's--are orphaned SlackBuilds
eventually removed? I orphaned Mathics and all dependencies I
worked on (some people maybe took over some dependencies or might
consider, because some were used) because it's a 'mess of Python
dependencies' (and the mess is growing as such)... kind of would
like to see it continue, but may have gone beyond what I can handle
for what it's worth when there's other stuff like Wolfram Engine.
