I'm hoping that Timothy and his partners and investors will be willing
to make the RTL available *before* it is GPL'd to hardware hackers that
have a serious interest in contributing to the project, under a non-GPL
license that doesn't allow public distribution.  If there is a serious
commitment to releasing under the GPL by a certain date (especially if
there is escrow), that should provide sufficient access for people to
start contributing.

I know VHDL reasonably well, and have perhaps learned enough Verilog
to be dangerous.  Although I'm very interested in the project, I doubt
that I will personally have time to invest in working on the RTL code.
I'm certainly looking forward to buying both the FPGA platorm and the
ASIC-based cards.  Probably several of the former and a dozen of the
latter.
