Cedric,
Sorry I didn't open the zip file to see what was in it...
Probably no one is working on it now. Micheus is the one doing stuff right now and he is busy with other parts of Wings3D. Please do join in the work of programming if you are able. Download the source files and set up your system to compile Wings3D. There is information on that in the Programming section. If you need help getting that set up ask there. You will find a file named wpc_stl.erl in a folder named C:\wings-1.5.2\plugins_src\import_export.
I imagine the biggest challenge in updating the plugin to support asci files is knowing the difference between asci and bin .stl files. Hopefully you have this knowledge...
You will also need to learn Erlang if you do not already know it. I have done some work in Erlang without having any prior experience in programming. My work has been in hacking existing files to add features, which is what you would need to do. I would leave binary as the default and add the option to choose asci.
If/when you get it to work you can submit the changes for approval. I have no experience in that process...
Hope you join us,
oort
