I am willing to volunteer to write the necessary ports, but I have a few questions. The version of enlightenment that is currently in the ports tree is not current enough for use with this module. Would it be necessary to rewrite this port, as well as the ports for the updated EFL? Or could the needed version of Enlightenment and the EFL be pulled in directly via the port for ecomp/ecomorph? I believe that it can be done this way, but it seems a bit circumventive. Is there currently a maintainer dedicated to the port for enlightenment, and it's supporting libraries? If so, would it be possible for you to send me their contact information so I can attempt to work with them on this matter? If there is not a maintainer dedicated to these particular ports, what would I need to do to volunteer to maintain these ports? Thank you for your time and consideration, -- Brandon R. Foster
