Re: [Jargp-general] working on unofficial 1.1

[Dennis S. <dm...@so...>]

Hi Matthew,

Sorry for not replying in a reasonable time to the messages you sent 
directly to me. I'd love to see someone take over active development of 
Jargp. I've made some changes myself, to handle cases such as repeating 
parameters, but have too many other things going on to do another 
release of Jargp at present.

What kind of fixes have you made, and what kind of design issues have 
you run into? Let's discuss them on this list so that it becomes part of 
the project record. If your changes look sound I'll add you as a 
developer and we can move forward on new release.

Thanks for your interest!

  - Dennis
