"Well that should be at least, usable, now!" she said to herself, "Cousin Jath will find it useful if I can persuade him that his previous way of doing things with just text and simple lettered pictures that he calls 'maps' can be made much better with this system. Its maps can be much more detailed and if you hold it just right you can just about imagine that it actually includes a sensation of things being above or below the level of other things. It is a pity that I could not spend the time to get it to go better but the way it was done is very old and I can't see how to get it to work as well as the flat pictures that only show one level at a time - and both of them will need to be redone better and faster in the future."
Reaching across for a fresh sheet of paper she picks up the quill to write just one more page, 'Vadim' she starts, 'we still have so much more to do with this.' She pauses to think: "I'm never going to meet this Gentleman, or the others in our society, but I am glad I got to work with them on this project where we collaborate openly and each bring our strengths for something that anyone can have just by asking and that they can pass on to others only with the restriction that they too pass on all the details of how it is made so both they and anyone else who gets it from them too, can inspect and improve it." 'We do need to try and merge the "Release 3.0.0" version that we are publishing now with the version that has already gained some improvements and future ideas. Some of those last minute fixes we found necessary for Release 3.0.0 will have to be included in the "Development" one but I am excited by the thought that finally we will start working on something that will work for those not using the same language as we do.'
After pausing to rest a little she lets her gaze wander around the plain white room which has become very familiar over the last few years but also quite lonely, she tries to think back to the last visitor she had actually spoken to face to face rather than by writing or to the last Accepted that had come to this study. Sadly she realises that even their names have faded. "It is not good, I have lost track of what is going on within even The White Tower, Light knows how the battle with the Dark One is going at present. I am going to have to get back out there and find out what is going on; besides, I have not heard anything from anyone about my request for more up to date Mudlet Maps that can be used with this."
Then a flash of thought of different languages provoked a recollection of hearing about the strange large grey creatures that the drawling, barely comprehensible invaders in the South-West were reputed to use - and of details of their breeding cycle; with a wicked smirk she quickly pens a post-script on her missive to her collaborator:
'P.S.
Q: Why is getting a Mudlet release out like mating S'redit?
A: Because it is done at a high level;
Because it is accompanied by a lot of yelling and shouting
Because it takes several years to produce results....!'
[O.O.C.] It is official, Mudlet 3.0.0 is out, follow our work at GitHub.

Edit: some further modifications/improvements/bugfixes in 3.0.1 and now in the 3.1.0 version recently released (2017/05/04)...
There needs to be a way to have more than one map active at a time so that rooms and areas can be copied from one to another. At least in the current release it is possible to import a basic map from an XML format file - extending the system that previously only worked for a set of on-line Maps for MUDs from a specific provider - but if I can extend the XML stuff to convey ALL the data then it should be possible to allow the piecemeal import/export of such data which would make collaborating on a shared map more possible...
