Unfortunately, i'm coming up quite short in terms of actually finding this module, even as a patch! My questions: 1) Can someone post a link to the existing source (preferably all three versions, "classic", "TNG", and "PP") 2) Does this project have any sort of real project structure to it, with release cycles and/or dedicated developers? 3) If the answer to 2 is "yes", is there any timeline for it to be added to the official source tree? Regarding 2 and 3 - if there is not an official project for this, would anyone else be interested in helping me set one up? I don't have a massive amount of free time, but i am a developer and have a vested interest in seeing the project succeed, so i would be more than willing to at least set up a more official project page for this critical module and help maintain the codebase.
