Hello guys,
after almost 2 years, I just released a new version of po4a. That
version does not come with a huge load of changes (I just integrated
some of the available patches on the Debian bug tracker), but that's
still a very good news: I managed to get into the situation where I
can upload versions of that software again! I think that more releases
will flow in now that my setup is fixed.
That being said, I don't expect much free time to hack on po4a so I'll
mainly do the basic maintainance. That's already much more than what I
did in the recent years (my last upstream release was almost 10 years
ago!)
Feel free to write patches, and I'll integrate them ;)
Bye, Mt.

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.

The great thing about TCP jokes is that you always get them.

I would LOVE to see it into a git(hub? bucket? or the like) hosting service.

I would like to contribute in the translation of po4a doc in italian and
for bug report/test with asciidoc.

Support for Perl5 will last for many years so there is no need to hurry...

I would LOVE to see it into a git(hub? bucket? or the like) hosting service.
What about a git repository on alioth? I'd prefer to stick to a free
hosting service (as in free speech). I agree that svn is bothersome.
I'll try to apply
https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/Git#Convert_a_SVN_Alioth_repository_to_Git
soon.

That would be great, of course.

Support for Perl5 will last for many years so there is no need to hurry...
I know, but perl6 seems to be a nice language that I'd like to learn
in the process ;)

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.
I just built and installed a po4a-0.46 package for Slackware and will
soon provide updated stuff @ http://slackbuilds.org, see
http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/misc/po4a/
I like Asciidoc too and use it to build all pages of http://slint.fr
We also use asciidoc+po4a to translate the pages of the website.
I am writing in sed a bi-directional converter
dokuwiki <=> asciidoc, to be able to indirectly use po4a for dokuwiki
pages, as there is no dokuwiki module (yet?).
I'll post here when it will be ready (in a few weeks if all goes well).
Also, I have a request, addressed to anyone willing to provide patches
(Marco?): that would be the ability to show anywhere in the UI the
current column number while editing, as in a lot of text editors and in
Lokalize. That _really_ helps, e.g. when translating messages output of
shell scripts whose lines shouldn't wrap.
Unfortunately I never wrote a single line of perl, so I can't do that
myself.
Oh, and please keep perl5 for now as that's what is available in
Slackware...
Thanks and best regards,
Didier

Please forg{et,ive} that, sorry: I was mixing poedit and po4a,..
