I sent the attached msg to Ross, Uli, and Marek a while ago and didn't receive a response, so I thought I'd open up the discussion to everyone. I definitely don't want to take anything away from the great work of everyone who has contributed to L2H (esp. Ross, who has always responded to my bug reports), but is anyone else somewhat concerned about L2H? I have no intention of trying to wrest control of L2H from anyone or anything crazy like that, but if I'm willing to help however I can. -JT
sending this directly to you guys, since you're the most active on the list - Ross esp. has responded to my bug reports many times please don't take this as criticism, but can someone tell me what the current status of L2H is? who is the primary developer? where is the primary site? I know about the manual at Ross' site: http://www-texdev.mpce.mq.edu.au/l2h/docs/manual/ the development site at saftsack: http://saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de/~latex2ht/ etc., but when I pretended to be a total novice, I found that much of the info out there is old and/or confusing for other projects I'm involved in as a user or beta tester I've advocated moving to sourceforge (http://www.sourceforge.net/) - gnuplot and numpy are two that I helped push over there (I also purchased gnuplot.org and donated it to the project) if there's interest, I'd like to spur a similar move with L2H - I'm even willing to purchase and donate latex2html.org since it's still available (I've come close to doing this in the past) but I thought I'd check and see what's happening on the "inside" of L2H development - I assume you guys are all quite busy with other things, but even if that's the case, a push to centralize development and set up a primary clearinghouse for L2H info would help, I should think on the other hand, if you guys have become convinced that L2H is a dead end and there are better alternatives (uli recently pointed to ppower4, which looks great), I'd like to know that as well anyway, let me know what you think -- John A.
