Hello Eric,

I think that the students aren’t interested in continuing their work on 
Patchwork, and I don’t have the time to work on Patchwork at the moment. 
Sorry! :-(  So the best way is probably if you darcs developers try to merge 
the DIL stuff into darcs. If you need help, please contact me, and I’ll see 
what I can do.

In case you transfer the DIL stuff to darcs, I’d be very happy if you would 
also adapt the Patchwork code accordingly, i.e., remove the transfered stuff 
from Patchwork and change Patchwork to use the DIL stuff from darcs. Would 
this be possible? If yes, please send patches to my e-mail address.

Would be cool!
