These are wonderful news! I’m happy for you and I wish you all the best in your new life adventure with your partner ??
There’s no urgency with the plugin: it’s still working fine with WP 3.4.2, and so for now, my team will stick with this version. However, let us know if you need help, either for testing or developing the plugin: I think there is a couple of persons including myself who are eager to help you out so that we can all drive away from qTranslate as it shows no support from the author. Maybe this time, the successor will have a more thriving community to support the plugin.
Good luck in your endeavors! I’ll wait for your news in mid-February. Meanwhile, I will play a little with what you have already posted on GitHub.
