WBEL was started as a project of a library in Louisiana, ref
http://library.beau.org/ . The original developers had to back off due
to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Their priority first was to keep
evacuees connected. As I understand it, they are still overworked with
the recovery. Yes, WBEL was neglected as a result, but they had higher
priorities.

Vic has apparently taken over the project - and afaik works on his own.

And the work behind creating a rebuild is harder than you might think,
as the build libraries are tricky, to put it mildly.

Thanks,
