[Python-apps-team] Bug#818107: The future of DocOnce

[Francesco Poli]

Hello,
I am a Free Software user and contributor from Italy.

I became interested in DocOnce, since I think it's a very promising
documentation format and system.
I wanted to see a more up-to-date version of DocOnce included in Debian
(my GNU/Linux distribution of choice), hence I filed a bug report
against the doconce Debian package on the Debian BTS:
https://bugs.debian.org/818107

It turned out that the maintainers of the doconce Debian package
haven't packaged recent versions of DocOnce, because no formal releases
have come out recently.
I said that the developers of DocOnce should be contacted and
encouraged to begin tagging (from now on) specific points of history in
the git repository, so that the maintainers of the Debian package could
have some defined "releases" to package.
Please see the already cited full bug log for further details.

In the meanwhile, I found out that the main author of DocOnce sadly
passed away on October 2016, the 10th.
I am very sorry for this loss...   :-(


I am now wondering: what's the future of DocOnce?
I hope that someone is taking over its development.
Maybe you?
I see that you are the author the latest commit on the public git
repository and you have contributed to DocOnce several times.
Could you please share some news with us?

Please note that I am Cc-ing the bug e-mail address. Please keep it in
Cc list, when replying, so that your message gets added to the bug log
and is publicly readable by all interested party.

Thanks for your time and for any help you may provide!
