It is being maintained, but I'm not sure what state it is in at the
moment. If you have a specific question you can post on answers or email
me or Ivan, but things are pretty busy here until after ICRA and finals.

scan_tools has a some scan manipulation tools and the scan matchers can
be used to estimate your pose if you don't have wheel odometry.

thanks for answering.

I have ("bad") odometry but I want to fusion the data to have a better precision. I tryied the canonical_scan_matcher with success. Doesn't seem to as easy to do the same with polar_scan_matcher which is more relunctant to launch.
I'll post on answer.org for precise question. This mail was just to be sure I wasn't speaking to wall ;) First question there
http://answers.ros.org/question/905/what-is-the-difference-between

BTW I am quite impressed of the precision out of the box of the canonical_scan_matcher.
