Darren was dealing with some life problems which prevented him from continuing with the development. When the idea of forking the project popped up, he was completely against it. So he called for maintainers and we are just now moving forward with volunteers to get things moving again. At least now there are many contributors instead of just Darren and patches submitted by the field. As mentioned, I have taken over the maintenance of the Vim piece of ctags. Dave
