I request an adopter for the sketch package.

I haven't used it for a while, so I'm not a great choice as a
maintainer. I'm willing to mentor a non-DD to get the hang of it.

The package description is:
 Sketch is a simple system for producing line drawings of
 three-dimensional objects and scenes. Sketch is intended to produce finely
 wrought, mathematically-based illustrations with no extraneous detail
 and be able to easily overlay TeX math and text. The input language is
 reminiscent of PSTricks, so will be easy to learn for current PSTricks
 users.  It generates either PSTricks or TikZ/PGF code as output.
 .
 Note that this package is not the interactive vector drawing program
 now known as skencil.

Hello,

I am basically interested in taking over the maintenance of the sketch package (in the long run).
However, I have to admit that I have not used the package myself up to now, still, it might be become quite useful for the upcoming downwriting of my thesis.
Nor I have ever done packaging for Debian before (as my currrent software project is way to specific to be included in any linux distribution).
So, I would suggest, that first, I will have a closer look at the code and try compiling packaging it on my own.
Is the code from souceforge the last version from the original author?
