That does reflect the current reality, I believe. I am the current/primary maintainer and that would make it easier for future delgation or handover. Looking at the mail Jason and I exchanged, it looks like his intention was to hand it off. I don't think he has had any involvement since way back then. -- Ivan Kohler President and Head Geek, Freeside Internet Services, Inc. http://freeside.biz/ Debian GNU/Linux developer | CPAN author | cat person | ski addict
