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.
