The way to keep your open source code relevant and working is to submit it as a patch to a large project. If "printvideo" had been written as a video output method for mplayer, ffmpeg, vlc, etc, somebody would have been doing all the day-to-day fixes to keep it working as libraries around it make changes. Would be an improvement over AAlib or libcaca text output modes. Instead, it'll still just sit quietly neglected and bit-rotting in its forgotten corner of the web.
