Are you sure ? (I didn't look at the code at all, so I'm just wondering) Otherwise, it would be a really cheap way to make it work. Thanks for looking into it anyway. > Are the two authors still mantaining this code? Bip Thelin? Amy Roh? Not really. I didn't hear about Bip for a while, and Amy has been busy with other things. Usually an easy way to get commit access if you have time to dedicate to contributing is to take over the maintenance of some abandoned component(s). CGI also needs a maintainer, BTW.
