Sorry to have taken so long to get back to you - your email got pushed to
the back of my queue for a few days, and then I forgot about it...

Last time I heard from him, Steve Reiz was no longer doing anything with
openciv:

That was dated Wed, 11 Mar 1998 10:31:45 +0100 (the email address in his
sig was sreiz@xxxxxxxxx, if you want to try to email him directly)

So, short of me becoming the maintainer, I guess it's fairly much defunct.
Steve actually offered for me to do that, and I considered it for a while,
but my enthusiasm had dropped off somewhat - while I think python is a neat
language, I was contemplating re-writing at least the client in C, for
speed reasons.  Then I found freeciv, so there didn't seem much point :)
