Basically, we're trucking along as we have time. I seem to be
having the least free time, but Jason, Brian, Marius, and Nakano
have been doing a hearty portion of work. :)

Current overview is something along these lines:

1. Stabilize portage-2.0.xx into something that can remain
   standing as our focus shifts over to the development work
   on HEAD in cvs.

2. Finalize a baseline plan for everything that HEAD should be
   achieving. This involves a lot of arguing, and can be both
   annoying and fun, depending on how twisted you are. I think
   I'm pretty twisted.

3. Roll out a API that satisfies all python-related apps, and
   expand portageq for the others. The API should be a slowly
   developing API once it's published in stable portage. It
   should roll out silently while we tinker and tweak it. This
   is what we expect most GUIs to develop with as this will be
   the only API we guarentee to maintain across stable and the
   new HEAD version in cvs.

4. Interatively release portages with high numbers signifying
   the extensive changes to the design and code. Hopefully in
   a few months we'll have a substantial and reasonable stable
   redesign.

That mostly covers it.
