Does anyone know how I can get in touch with the people who are working on the EPUB export in version 2.4? I want to gauge if it will be worth it for me to put my converter out. This will depend on:
1) When 2.4 will be released 2) How good the EPUB export will be Any help on this would be appreciated. Even telling who I can contact about this.
