Hi Alexandre [CC to public-qa-dev@w3.org], I hope you are well. You'll remember the i18n-checker project from Google Summer of Code last year [0][1][2]: After the project finished I was in a great position to be the i18n-checker's maintainer, but as you can see I've disappeared for a few months. Unfortunately it has had to be this way because I'm very busy with my university work; I was in a road accident last semester and it put me far behind schedule. (I'm fine now!) It seems that the i18n-checker hasn't seen any use. I'd love to be the person to turn this situation around by improving the code and supporting its users; I haven't lost interest in the project. Realistically, however, I can't see a way to drop focus on my university work until I'm clear of the final exams at the start of June. And since that's so far in the future I can't make any promises for then either-- perhaps I'll be starting a full time job around then! So this email is an apology: Sorry about disappearing as soon as the paid project finished (that seems very mercenary doesn't it?), and sorry that I don't make any promises for the future. I'm very grateful for the experience, and I hope my example doesn't discourage the W3C from applying for GSoC 2014 this week [3]!
