Hi Jonathan:

Yes, I no longer have time to maintain it and based on quality standards
don't wish to re-release it unless one or more highly experienced Emacs
package developers want to take it on, as it is a good size package.  Such
a person would have to have developed significant Emacs packages like Org
or Hyperbole and have reasonable time to answer questions and make updates
as issues and requests came in.  Familiarity with a multitude of
object-oriented languages would also be useful.  Such volunteers are
welcome.  Please don't offer if you have the desire but not the experience.

In the event no such party appears, when I do find time to make some
necessary updates for a release, I'll do my best to get to it and then make
a release that you can check out.
