[Sage] How come no update in nearly 6 months?

[Fikri]

I agree with Mattias: I have only been using Sage for 3 months now, and I'm really surprised to see 
that despite the great popularity of this extension, there seem to be very little enthusiasm from 
the developpers community ?? The new features page on the Sage Wiki is full of requests 
(http://sage.wikicities.com/wiki/Comments_and_Suggestions).

I find it also quite hard to get some documentation on how to participate in the development of the 
extension. I would be keen to add my 2 cents to this project, even though I have no XUL knowledge.
Can anyone provide some information for people like me on how to participate to this project ? Or at 
least how to rebuild a new extension after modifying the code (downloaded from the CVS repository)?
Thanks in advance.
