Is CoH Mission Planner a dead project? Alternates?

First things first, for those that don't know: CoH: Mission Planner

This is a handy application that allows you to edit AE missions offline. The biggest use is to get the bulk of your text in place or to copy and paste objectives (at least for me anyway). Huge kudos to the author!

The problem is, the last update was in April and although the project says it's not dead, the delay is due to a lapsed game account. I would love to see this project brought back, updated, and continued with new features... but my hopes in the matter are fading.

So now I'm asking the public if there is an alternative. An offline editor that helps with my text, mission objectives, and maybe even map pictures. If there is an active project in alpha or beta, I will gladly help with testing or information gathering (sorry, I'm not a coder unless you're working with BASIC).

I feel that AE has a lot of untapped potential in part due to the in-game editor being a bit intimidating for some players. Not being able to copy and paste or color text easy can become frustrating when you just want to get your story out there. I'm hoping there are more efforts on the offline AE mission front, or maybe even ones I've simply missed.

From what I know, the delay has been that Leandro was SWAMPED with his real job. Since he and I chat almost every day, I know that he wants to get back to this, but real life just got in his way (also, with several updates being made to the MA, I gather he was waiting for them to be implemented before progressing).

A lot of the MA Planner is gathering of info - maps, costume pieces, factions, heroes, villains, contacts, etc. You might drop him a line and see what you (or folks you know) can do to help things along.
