Where are the new ones?

Since a few months there are new updates for the Offices that are not in the apup list.
Any special reason for that?

This is an easy one to answer - there are no developers to update the script, you need the software application
and the desire to maintain the release. Well, the people that were doing it before no longer wish to maintain the
release - what do you do but say "thank you for keeping the script updated for as long as you did".
Note: I do believe a developer is updating Office 2007 Ita/Eng and until it is tested it looks like Office is on hold
for now. This project works on a voluntary basis and it is unreasonable to expect the same people to maintain a
release indefinitely.
We encourage serious users who have the desire, software, and willingness to learn to step up, but of the ones who
seemed serious, 99.9% never followup - they disappear.

Just out of curiosity as I wouldn't have time to do it on a regular basis but if i wanted to create an updated script for Office 2k3 and the corresponding apm files are there any tools to help with this (I am thinking APM files mainly here) or is it a totally manual process. I downloaded the manual describing the APM format when you originally did CD releases is there anything similar for the script?
There are generally fewer office updates anyway so it may be possible to get enough people to do a month here or there on an ad-hoc basis if its straight-forward enough.
