Thanks for the update Evan! While the project is moving a bit too slow, I think we managed successfully to modernize it: - Replaced the old configuration system with Typesafe config - which made it a lot easier to add new configurations and to override existing. - Replaced the old build system with Gradle - which finally made it easy to build/test/run the project with any modern IDE. - Moved the project to Java 8 - which allows us to write better/more modern code. Hopefully that removed many of the obstacles in the way of people who want to contribute to the project.
