It's sad to hear that the author has had such a financially hard time while working on those things. But the thing is that those books are not best sellers. There are like 10 ppl in the world interested in SVG. I'm sorry to say but also committing to a large chunks of work without any contract for payment?? I can understand that you'd do it if you really a) wanted to do it b) wanted the "fame" or the admiration of your peers but to continue to work on while the teams around you are falling apart and not giving a shit is just pointless. Maybe she wasn't able to read the state of the project very well. Anyway author if you read this, I'd say just scrap the SVG for now and pursue other paths. You can always go back to it if interest towards SVG takes off again.
