I think the author is murphy. I don't know how it was for you,
but I wrote to him some months ago about the choice of colours
and had some email exchanges, which were productive. So I would
not say that he is inactive at all.

He can however reply here when he finds the time and someone
shows him the link to it. :-)

Well. I'd say the first thing to do is get to point out this
thread to murphy. He'll surely be able to find 2-4 minutes to
just write a short reply whether he plans to merge in syntax
changes like the lua parser, and if not why not, and then these
problems can eventually be fixed.

So I think, the first thing that should be done is to find murphy.

Murphy, where are you!
