All the modules except for asetroot and Pager are in need for new 
maintainers.
problem is that all of them should be havily dependent on libraries and 
therefore
cannot really be developed "outside" of the AS code tree. Althou it is not 
very 
difficlut to plug new things into the tree - just create a subdir in src/, 
put all your files in there and hack away.

One huge item on TODO list is to update all the modules to current 
libraries and make them compile and talk to afterstep :) That ought to keep 

everybody's busy for a while. If anybody is interested in any particular 
module - 
please contact me with your questions.
