EPUB converter

[Ken Kopelson]

  Does anyone know how I can get in touch with the people who are working
on the EPUB export in version 2.4? I want to gauge if it will be worth it
for me to put my converter out. This will depend on:

1) When 2.4 will be released
2) How good the EPUB export will be

Any help on this would be appreciated. Even telling who I can contact about
this.

Many thanks,
*Ken Kopelson*
