excellent! I'm very happy to see you back on this subject.
I'd be pleased to see it in action...

now for the doc plans (from you original message), there's no hurry for a
merge.
even more now that the ChangeLog point will be addressed.
so the plan is to continue the conversion, until we reach something complete
enough to go on a beta round.

on my side, I've just started to commit a bunch of User Manual updates.
I've planned to get back on the website soon so that we can publish it on
new.n.o and go on a beta round. The last points being the driver.list
evolution (I should send another mail tonight on this), the protocols
library (first pass) and obviously the layout / usability issues we've
talked about before.

I still also have to take a deeper look at the manpages (big thanks for your
work here).

cheers,
Arnaud
