Please read [1] for information about the GIT account requests, [2] for Planet GNOME and [3] for the GNOME website. Anyway, it seems to me that not having these kind of resources available right now (or even not having them at all) should not block any development of your project. For what concerns the project itself, I don't like see people duplicating efforts; as others already told you, I really can't see the point of rush-writing a daemon that will be, in your own words, less functional than something which is already widely used in two big platforms and which has a well-defined spec many people already agreed upon. Unless you see something so fundamentally broken in the ThumanailerSpec or in Tumbler that could only be solved with a rewrite from scratch of everything. If I were you, I would really make a step back and reconsider what other people proposed you, be it a specialized thumbnailer for some format, or a library with optimized thumbnailing algorithms with a demo test-drive thumbnailer attached.
