I guess kind of *right now*. I'm in the process of porting a few of the 
small changes that have been applied to bleadperl in the meantime to a 
github fork of your repository. When I'm done, I'll copy those merged 
files into bleadperl.

In the long run, I wonder whether it might be worthwhile to move the faq 
maintenance back to the core repository. I doubt people would be very 
opposed to giving you commit access to that (and in github times you 
could always use your own fork and send pull requests occasionally).

Cheers,
Steffen
