I haven't heard from him, and the Unmaintained list actually says that
Francis Litterio ####@####.#### is supposed to be the new maintainer.
I'll have to ask around to see who's really responsible for it....
Just to clarify, we now have four Bash documents in our collection:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/
http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/index.html
http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html
(http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/os.html#OSSHELL needs to be
updated)

Yes. The first document is only about colours, and the specific page in
the second document is also only about colours. Wouldn't it be better to
send people to the Bash Prompt HOWTO, which is up-to-date, rather than a
document that only has information about colour and is out of date, and
not maintained?
