[ros-users] Current state of SMACH in ROS

[Jonathan Bohren]

Jose,

So the official maintainer of SMACH is still Wim Meeussen, I handed it off
to him after I left Willow in late 2010, but I still jump in occasionally
to answer questions and fix bugs. SMACH is not actively developed (no new
features are planned at this time), but it should still be maintained. My
involvement has lapsed a bit over the past year, but I intend to get more
actively involved.

I'll check out the issues you raised.

thanks!
