# The story continues

I have tried to contact the author of that plugin, to ask him to continue his work. Unfortunately, without any success, I got no response at all. It’s sad to lose such a tiny but very useful piece of software. Therefore, I created my own copy of [SubtaskDescription](https://codeberg.org/abu/SubtaskDescription), I’ll maintain it from there.

You can download the first migrated version from [here](https://codeberg.org/api/packages/abu/generic/SubtaskDescription/1.1.2/SubtaskDescription-1.1.2.zip), there shouldn’t be any functional differences. Maybe you have to uninstall the original version first.

As usual, any feedback is highly appreciated.

@Rainer: This issue you reported above is WIP. 😉
