It's not stalled, but there is technical decisions to make (extended
tooltips for example), see our last discussion on the l10n list.

I sent you one some times ago, and I've it installed on my Debian
working with the last LibreOffice version. But using it is a nightmare,
you have a lot to learn with the styles used, the syntax and the
structure before being able to create an article.
I would like to have a follow up in Bern with Moggi and Kendy on our
last discussion because this is something I'm concerned to push too.

Cheers
