I think most developers will leave the project pages when they see the "This
page was last updated on: 13-Feb-2003" or at least when they realize that
the home page is really outdated - there a version 1.2.1 is listed while
1.3.1 is the latest one.

What do you think how many developers try to join or help the project under
these circumstances? The rest of them will be discouraged when they see the
bugtracker with its open bugs or the patch-tracker - 10 of 15 submissions
are open.

Of course I don't blame you on that but in my opinion all these signs are
good reasons for the poor state of the project.

I'd be glad to help you with the project - or at least try it. I'll send you
a private email about that.
