I don't mean to badmouth him, and this definitely isn't intended as anything against him. But I've helped him out getting the new version of dsource ready, and as far as I can tell, there really isn't much left to do, but he just hasn't had the time to finally get it up. And that was months ago. A while back I offered to help out with whatever is left, and he was receptive to it, but then I didn't hear back from him again. Of course, that may very well have just been a lost email, or a miscommunication, or something. Maybe I'll email him again.
