Re: Merge Tilda changes
Hi Martin, thanks for the reply I have contacted the original developer on sourceforge and asked him to merge the patches. If he declines or does not answer, then I will propose to make lp:tilda the new upstream branch.

Merge Tilda changes
Hi, I would like to know how to contact the VCS import team? I would like to ask for this branch of the tilda source to be merge to the upstream branch lp:tilda at: https://code.launchpad.net/~catoblepa/tilda/trunk/+merge/34111 There are some nice changes in this branch and I find it quite disappointing they are just lying around for such a long time already.

Re: Merge Tilda changes
It looks like they do not use Launchpad for development, but rather, the branch on Launchpad is imported from cvs on Sourceforge. That may also indicate that the upstream is inactive. But you will need to contact the upstream developers to get any changes merged into the project.
