When this came up, Bob asked, rightly, what Lindar can do in terms of advancing the project. The answer is "mostly the grunt work"; ey doesn't have the head for hyper-technical things like grammar wrangling. Ey might be able to do the CLL diff review and the docbook conversion; I don't know. I don't know how much grunt work is left; a couple dozen hours is my guess. Regardless, we could probably find *something* for eir to do with eir time; I think we could get value out of it. -Robin -- http://singinst.org/ : Our last, best hope for a fantastic future.
