https://fedorahosted.org/releases/p/u/publican/Publican-Installer-2.3.exe is 
from Nov 2010.

Can you tell us why?

It's quite an effort to get it working and we receive very little feed 
back about it so it's not a priority. Publican 3.0 is around the corner 
and I do hope to have a Windows installer for that. I have access to 
Vista and Win7 so hopefully I can get it working on both.

Cheers, Jeff.
