I haven't been watching carefully, and didn't see your message.  It is a
members only list though, so you might be stuck in the moderation queue.

I am the outgoing Zile maintainer, and wrote most of the GSoc ideas section
for Zile last year, but due to work commitments can neither maintain Zile any

I've forwarded this to the once and future maintainer of Zile, to see
whether he has better news for you than I :-)
