I think you're right about the stability, but that's a better question for William to answer. Wasn't aware of Sup, I've only seen him using Turnsole (https://github.com/wmorgan/turnsole) which apparently is derived from Sup.

Both Heliotrope and Turnsole are derived from his work on Sup, from what I can tell.

His Rethinking Sup[1][2] blog posts were, as far as I can tell, the initial thought work that led to the creation of HT & TS.

Personally, I read them at the time with great expectations, and was a bit let down since it seemed to result in a email-specific system, whereas Sup-the-service was described as a generalist document system (RSS, notes, even IRC).

I'd try to contribute, but frankly I don't really want to delve into yet another language (Ruby) for now..
