camelCase.el: I have some fixes!

[Reuben Thomas]

I have been using camelCase.el for a while first with XEmacs and now
with FSF Emacs. I have some bug fixes over the latest version I can
find (it doesn't have a version number, but it says 20 May 2001), and
looking through my email discover that I've offered fixes to the
author (C. R. Manning, apparently at ai.mit.edu) a couple of times
last year, but with no reply. I've noticed too that his web page
(whose address is given in camelCase.el) doesn't mention camelCase.el.

Finally, although camelCase.el claims to work on FSF Emacs 20.7, the
version I have uses a function that only exists in XEmacs, which I've
reimplemented for FSF Emacs.

Is anyone maintaining this file? Or is there an alternative? It'd be a
pity to keep my fixes to myself...

I don't maintain camelCase.el, but I do redistribute it, as part of 
EMacro Libs at http://emacro.sourceforge.net/

Drop the _NOSPAM_ from my email, or you can contact me via Sourceforge.net.

FWIW, I've been trying to contact the author of a2ps, for _over_5_years_
now, which is supposedly an active FSF/GNU project.
I know that CPAN has a policy, that if the author does not respond, and 
you are willing to assume maintainership, that you can take over a 
project. Perhaps we should apply this to the Emacs world.
ELL/ELAE anyone?

IMHO forking is enought, and more natural, in most cases.

Just send a  note to the author (if address is  included) that you are
taking over mantainance.  If he/she doesn't respond take  it as a "Ok,
go ahead".

I use this all the time, and would love to see the changes.  Perhaps,
if there's no longer a maintainer, it could turn into a Source Forge
project?
