Who will take on KXneur?

Probably, many users of the GNU / Linux operating systems appreciated the work of the X Neural Switcher (XNeur) program , an auto- mapping switch . Often, it is also called the “analogue of Punto Switcher”, but I personally don’t like this name at all - after all, there is some disrespect for XNeur authors in it. The program’s website also has a mention of the Windows equivalent, but more politically correct - “The program’s working principle is similar to Punto Switcher”. However, all this lyrics. The topic is not about that.

This message can be called a kind of announcement. And the next topic. As it is accepted in the world of Free Software, the program exists in the form of a console application, supplemented by front-ends (graphical interfaces), adapted for various window managers. And if everything is fine with GXneur (based on GTK libraries), then KXneur (Qt-based) has been going through hard times lately: its development has almost stopped. This is not good. At the moment, the question has already arisen of excluding KXneur from Debian repositories, since maintain the assembly there is nobody. This, in fact, was the reason for the appearance of this message on Habré.

In general, what else is there to paint? I ask those who want to preserve this undoubtedly useful development for future KDE users. You can contact directly with the authors of the project (appearances / addresses / passwords on the XNeur website).
