Hey, welcome to PPG!
I'm sorry I can't answer your question, since I wasn't a part of the dudleyville move and I don't know what the situation is with the author. However, you can do the following: make sure you have five posts on this forum(not all on the same day, naturally, but unfortunately, you have to have at least five posts or you can't PM) and send a private message to jcompton, and maybe he knows how to reach the author. If jcompton doesn't answer within a reasonable amount of time, let me know, and I'll PM, too - I think that Dudleyville with BG:EE additions is a fine idea and you're doing a great thing with asking permissions. (I don't know, but maybe you could even set a mirror on PPG, too, if it's okay with jcompton).
