Well, a few minutes ago we got the first new subscriber in quite a
while.

Yes, I am still working on xmlroff, although I have been busy with
other stuff recently.

Independently of being mentioned on the XSL-List twice in one week
(minor jump in page views at the end of last week, too), I'm giving a
talk on xmlroff at my office tomorrow, and I'm getting ready to make a
0.2.4 release that (thanks to patches from Tim Waugh) should put the
last nail in the coffin of requiring PDFlib when you're using the
GNOME Print backend.

Independently of all that, GNOME Print has a new maintainer, and
there's already talk of GNOME Print improving its Pango integration.
