retitle 590180 RFP: sigil -- A WYSIWYG ebook editor
thanks

This ITP is now more than two years old and we haven't heard from the
owner in more than year despite a few pings. And I (and other people
as well, I'm sure!) still really want Sigil in Debian. :)

Both Don Armstrong and the Kan-Ru (the owner) have suggested setting
up a shared repository. But really, *somebody* should make a stab at a
package. Since a few people have expressed interest in helping, this
seems like a great candidate for collaborative maintaince so that
anybody that wants to or can join to help. I'd encourage whoever runs
with this to create an Alioth project or something and run with it.

I'm tried to mark this bug accordingly because I think the ITP/owner
is scaring interested folks away from trying.

Thanks to Kan-Ru, Don, Mathieu, and everyone else who has spent time
on this already. I'm really looking forward to having Sigil in Debian!

Regards,
Mako
