As I said, I did not ever deny you work, of course you do. Still, "steady bugfixing" and "dymanic evolution" are not quite the same, although related. > Now, to counter the perception of stagnation, you can help: > Please help us working on fppkg Looking at the bugtracker, I found a single non-assigned issue #18321, which talks about some "webdesign" package I know nothing about. So I where can I look at the todo-list? > Slowly, we (mainly Joost, in fact) are converting the FPC packages to this > new mechanism, fixing bugs as we go along.

However, I am afraid my work will be rejected again as was the case with fpdoc. So I'd consider working on numlib (+ math unit, which is obviously closely related), if I'd get either commit access or somebody who will timely commit my patches. -- Alexander S.
