Over the last year I have left the university and taken up various
contracting jobs and various big changes in my personal life have
occurred.  Every time I sit down and say "NOW I have time to write free
software"  (my goal in life is to make enough money to have time to write
free software; whose isn't?) but I end up having barely enough time to
reply to all kdoc related email alone (and I apologize a LOT for that!),
but until I can sort my life out I cannot promise any serious committed
long term development like kdoc used to enjoy. It's a pity because I
really enjoy kdoc and it is still to date my largest single-program perl
project. 

So no, kdoc will not die, I'll still apply patches when I can and write
new code when I get a moment, but I've asked for help with various things
like writing documentation many times in the past and have received no
volunteers, so I cannot say when that stuff will get done, sorry.

I still have a fairly large outstanding list of patches, which I have to
check and apply as soon as I can, but kdoc 2.0 is still a little while
away.

PS. Unless someone wants to pay me ;-)
