In short, many of the gripes of the Perl community about the known limitations of our testing framework could be mitigated if can get momentum on this again. However, OSCON just ended, Schwern has a new job, Andy has other (good) projects that he's pursuing and work here has stalled. I can't say I blame them because I certainly have bursts of energy followed by periods of needing to recharge, but I don't know what to do. If I've spent a lot of time building something that is deemed unsuitable for the future direction of TAP and the testing framework, I really don't want to continue working on it. If it *is* suitable but needs some work, I'd like to know that, too.
Ovid, I currently need a good TAP parser, and I'm settling on yours as *my* standard, anyway. It would seem futile to write yet another one when I've got yours to work with. I will certainly put on my user hat and start sending you "couldn't it just" mail as soon as possible. :)
