I will give it a go to see if I find any issues. What are the target
Firefox versions for this nightly (2.x, some particular 3.0alpha
build)? Are there any known issues with this nigthly that we should be
aware of?

Can you give any hints on the planned development? As for the
essential features, they seem to be there, so I understand that it's
more of a maintenance task (not necessarily trivial if compatibility
across versions and platforms is desired, e.g. Mac OS X support using
Firefox 3). However, if there a need for major rewrites, or a want for
new features, I imagine that it might be tough, though as a user I
greatly appreciate the effort.

Being a developer (specially one out of two) already seems like quite
a job. What knowledge (of programming, of the Mozilla codebase, etc.)
would be necessary to lend a hand?

I haven't tried maintaining any type of communication as I simply
checked the svn status of the english translations to check whether
there was a need for further updates. In principle the Spanish
localization is up to date, though prior to any release I would like
to have a final look to see whether everything is polished or not.

svn.mousegestures.org no longer seems to be available. Are we
transitioning to a new site or revision system? Since the website
doesn't seem to be in much of a good condition

Hoping that if progress is currently tough there will at least be
continuity, I wish for the best.
