Yes, I am.  Like you I liked the project but was frustrated by the
lack of recent development.  When I contacted the mailing list the
maintainer quickly announced he no longer wanted to run the project
and asked for volunteers to take it on.  I volunteered and no-one else
did, so...

It's early days yet, I am learning up on the Sourceforge facilities
and setting up secure access to my new account there.  Then I'll look
at the structure of the CVS repository (I have played with CVS but not
used it in anger).  There's a bit of a learning curve to all this but
I think if I aim at the low-hanging fruit (fixing the build, adding
missing methods) I'll be able to release useful code soon.  

Please send me any suggestions for what you think most needs to be
done.  No-one else has done so yet, so I'm looking at scratching my
own itches so far.  I will post a road map to the mailing list next
week.

Cheers, 

Jeremy
