Hi everyone,
I just wanted to ping again how the status is .. is there *any* progress
with respect to Data::Diver? What are the problems?
It cannot be completely unfree I guess.
We are far from release now and it would be nice to see halfway
recent packages of biber/biblatex at some point, otherwise
Debian will not be able to be used for many modern
documents, which is *not* what I want.
