No updates later than Oct 2009. I tried to email Sven directly using the email address listed on hackage but after over two weeks I still haven't heard from him. I sent some patches to the <span class="il" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(84, 133, 189); color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">opengl</span> list about a week ago but I noticed that Sven hasn't posted on that list since Oct 2009 when he released the current version of OpenGLRaw. None of the public darcs repos have patches newer than Oct 2009. Also, the homepage url listed in the packages is a 404:</div>

I hope he's well. He has always done top notch work in the past maintaining these libraries. Perhaps he's simply busy or lost interest?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Does anyone know if he was looking for a new maintainer? Perhaps you've heard from him more recently than Oct 2009?</div><div><br></div><div>If a new maintainer is needed, I would consider nominating myself :)</div>
