It is rather abandoned though not intentionally (for me causes are
studying and bad time management (fixing it actively now)). But both
me and Shinnok would like to continue the development.
Only a tiny part is done. So there is a plenty of work.
The project is not "owned". Any help is appreciated. And you are
welcome to participate at any time. For GSoC developer will be chosen
fairly: developer who suits for that task better will be chosen if any
(I am ready for that I may be not chosen).

That version confuses new users much. I hope new cleaned up version
does not.

Thanks! I will apply.
