Hello again,
I've just found out that Hans Petter Langtangen, the main author of
DocOnce, sadly passed away [1] on October 2016, the 10th.

This was really sad news.


Now I wonder whether DocOnce development will be carried on by some of
the contributors.
I see that the latest commit [2] to the DocOnce git repository is by
Kristian Gregorius Hustad [3][4].
Among the people who have write access to the repository, he could
maybe be the one taking over DocOnce development...
Perhaps you could get in touch with him and ask him about the future of
DocOnce.
