Eric Weddington has left Atmel, so his address will no longer be valid. I don't know if he still has time to work with AVRs, or if he would still be able to be a maintainer for the AVR port. But I am pretty sure that his new job will not involve AVR's significantly, so it would only be as a hobby (or at best, as a normal avr gcc user). Atmel includes gcc in their development tool (AVR Studio), as well as providing pre-built packages (for Windows and Linux) with the avr-libc library and related tools, using snapshots of mainline gcc with a few patches (for things like support of newer devices). So it seems reasonable to expect that they will be interested in the development and maintenance of the avr port of gcc even though Eric has now left them. If you would like, I can try to contact Atmel and ask if they have someone who would like to take Eric's seat as a port maintainer (or you could do so yourself from Atmel's website). mvh., David
