Very good news. I was afraid it was a dead project and almost ready to
take over and fork it. We (KiCad development team) are rely on
asciidoc+po4a for handling the i18n of the documentation. Asciidoc is
(IMHO) the best light markup format but it lacks (for now) internal
handling of i18n strings. Thanks to po4a that makes it possible.
Thanks for your support.
There is definitely no need to fork the project: our resources are
already scarce, and a fork would not help us. I'm ok with migrating
the project to another host if that's what you need to participate,
but your energy is welcome within the project, no need to fork ;)
There is still a bunch of low hanging fruits in the debian and alioth
bug trackers that I plan to fix, but any help (and patches) for the
other bugs is really warmly welcome.
One of my dreams would be to port po4a to perl6 to enjoy the new way
of writing parsers. But it won't happen anytime soon, I fear.
Thanks for your interest,
Mt.
I know a joke about UDP, but you might not get it.
The great thing about TCP jokes is that you always get them.
