floyd - it woudl be great to have more developers working on this but as far as i can tell the development path on QS is still cloudy given alcor's move to google and the inability to commercialize his code even though its open source. whatever work is done on this will likely be a labor of love for now.
it would be great to have a group of developers band together to contribute time to this but i think the leadership of such a project is important. a collaborative effort such as what the mozilla foundation has done with firefox, etc would be something workable if it could come together.
