Thanks for the information, will watch the list closely for future developments.

Adding to this, it should be mentioned that the high-level APIs of Chemistry and OpenCMIS are really similar, so migrating from one to the other (or to its merged successor) shouldn't be too much of a problem. I'm planning a wiki entry describing the API differences, and proposals on how to keep the best of both in a merged version. I'll inform this list when it's written.
