Well, "not been worked on for a while" doesn't necessarily mean it
doesn't work at all :) But there might be bugs which make it at least
difficult to use, only people who have actually tried can say.

It depends what needs to be fixed. Perhaps it's only about bugs which
may or may not be easy to fix, it's difficult to say without knowing
exactly what is missing here.
