Hi Jonathan:

Yes, I no longer have time to maintain it and based on quality standards don't wish to re-release it unless one or more highly experienced Emacs package developers want to take it on, as it is a good size package.  Such a person would have to have developed significant Emacs packages like Org or Hyperbole and have reasonable time to answer questions and make updates as issues and requests came in.  Familiarity with a multitude of object-oriented languages would also be useful.  Such volunteers are welcome.  Please don't offer if you have the desire but not the experience.

In the event no such party appears, when I do find time to make some necessary updates for a release, I'll do my best to get to it and then make a release that you can check out.

Ive seen references to OO-Browser (documentation, wistfulness) but hadnt
come across how to try it.

Id interpreted it as being a victim of bitrot and lost in the sands of
time (and is resting next to a genie lamp and hardback documentation for
Xemacs).

Is there a working version about for GNU Emacs?
