I've bee working to try to create a sustainable development community
for months. I've talked with most of the community leaders, but anyone
can help out. Here's kinda where we stand now...
1) The project is almost entirely open source. 8 wchar symbols remain
in libc to be resolved + some debugging.
2) We're setup to take contributors
forked onnv-gate which is hourly merged
http://hg.osunix.org/codestr0m/osunix-gate/
commits list
http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/osunix-commits
dev list

Before we apply patches we can test them cleanly at the packaging level.
3) Anyone can help out. Supporting us can be a friendly hi on irc,
telling a friend or helping fix bugs.
#osunix - irc.freenode.net
------
Currently, we mostly need help with releases and the install process.
Before this we're unable to really push for more wide spread testing.
I'm confident that regardless of any merger we're on a good track.
Personally, I've tried to keep the focus on using the best technology
and not getting involved in politics, wasting time, or zealotry between
opinions. I have and will focus on technical fact gathering and trying
to build not just an alternative, but something great.
Kindly,
Christopher Bergström
