Hey,
since i don't want to steal that other topic I will give a short notice in here
I will continue to host and support the auto updater, however I do not have the time to dive into UI scripting at the moment. So if anyone of you publishes patches or modifications, make sure you send me a notice so I can push those files live.
If anyone takes over the whole UI project do not hestiate to contact me so I can show you the right tools to provide auto updates.
