Hi Andreas,
Thanks for letting us know.  We are actively trying to hire a Java developer who will take over the maintenance and development of Artemis. So unfortunately it will be at least a few months before we will have anyone in post to work on it.  If you happen to know of anyone looking for a job, please send them our way!
Regards,
Andrew
