Not really.

That's correct. I haven't had the time to pick up Gramps work. But I do read
the mailing list, as you can see.

That's strange. All my changes are just checked-in in trunk. (At least, I hope I did.)

Notice that with NarrativeWeb (and WebCal) you also need the matching CSS files. Like
Gary said, I have been doing refactoring, but I don't know anything about CSS. All
the CSS work was done by Rob Healey (and Jason Simanek). Rob also suggested a lot of
changes in WebCal and NarrativeWeb which I added to the source code.

What I want to do (now that I'm forced to defend what I've done :-) is to look at what
went wrong.
