Hello, Asher. Don't read much into the lack of activity here; I think all of us that have been active over the last year have used other channels for communication. At least after a few pings to see who was actually interested in continuing the effort... At this point, 99% of our efforts have been towards the infrastructure, so that we can actually use the resources we already have (tickets, documentation, code, xtras, etc).
