Still maintained?

Is this gem still maintained? We'd love to use it for a few projects.

@anitsirc, @MadsBuus, it looks like you're maintaining a fork over in https://github.com/karnov/htmltoword, with some great improvements, but have issues disabled?

Edit: The reason I ask, is that I'd also like to contribute. :smile:

Hi Ben, Yes, we have taken up continuing the development here. Nick was a former employee here at Karnov, did a great initial work on this together with Cristina. Our development has taken over development, and recently added a lot of cool features, and are planning more soon. We have been using it for several years, on several projects, but recently needed some more features to make the word documents prettier and more flexible.

I have enabled issues now, so please contribute :) I will ask Cristina and Nick to point others to the fork https://github.com/karnov/htmltoword

Thanks, Mads

@MadsBuus that's awesome to hear! We're looking to use the Gem for some of our internal workflow here at GitHub (lawyers and government agencies still :heart: Word docs). Looking forward to contributing.

Two last questions:

1. Any chance on taking over the Rubygems version as well? I've been building against the Fork on GitHub, but it'd make deployments easier.
2. With @nickfrandsen's permission, we can actually invert the fork graph, if you'd like, to make https://github.com/karnov/htmltoword the canonical version.

Haha, True. Karnov is in the 'lawyers and government' business as well :) Yes, I will talk to Nick about reversing the fork, and owning the rubygems version. Cristina is back in the offfice tuesday, and has access to the repo I think.

Meanwhile, try out our fork: We have a lot of internal gems, so we use something like:

git_source(:karnov) { |name| "[email protected]:karnov/#{name}.git" } 
gem 'htmltoword', karnov: 'htmltoword', branch: 'master'

@benbalter, Rubygems version now points to karnov/htmltoword and it's up to date. And question 2 would be nice to do. @nickfrandsen can you do that?
