It is not actively maintained at the moment.

If there is someone willing to work on it, it is worth considering how
much of it would be changed. If the answer is "most of it", then a
re-write from scratch under a more modern license (CC-by-SA 4.0) would
be best because we don't (and, to be honest, can't really) comply with
the GFDL.

On the other hand, patches are welcome for minor improvements.


Thanks
Kat
