Gregory, I am presently bouncing between working on GNUstep-gui, finishing my W65C816S-based retro computer/games console design (Sentinel 65X), building a Commodore 1581 clone, filling orders for products I sell, and getting ready for the holidays. I wouldn’t expect much materially visible progress on much until the new year, but nothing is getting abandoned.
