So, my employer and the FSF have agreed on the specific wording they'll use for the employer copyright disclaimer form. It's not quite finalized, but I just sent the copy signed by my employer over to the FSF copyright clerk, so I expect that I will shortly be able to contribute my own code to Wget again.
The long delay (over 6 months!) was mostly my fault... I'd get distracted by "real" work and not prioritize the next step high enough. But we're finally through it. Anyway, I'm hoping perhaps this will motivate me to get back into coding on Wget... there was integration work I could and should have been doing, but wasn't. Now that I can maintain Wget properly again, I'm interested in seeing the 1.12 release happen. There's already been quite a few exciting improvements since 1.11 (CSS support!), and the rest of the world ought to be able to benefit from it. My highest priority right now is to finish adding tests and polishing Saint Xavier's IRI work for inclusion in mainline. Following that I want to work through Steven Schweda's contributions, which included important fixes to various FTP issues, and VMS support (both servers, and build support). Finally, just the most pressing bugs should be addressed, and I'll leave any that can wait until a later release. -- Micah J. Cowan Programmer, musician, typesetting enthusiast, gamer.
