Joaquim, I discussed the option below during the BOCHS era but was declined.
A number of faculty in the CS community can organize student projects to "finish" Plex86. There are a variety of pedagogical justifications for the work. The practical impetus to do this is not as great as it once was due to VMWare. I realize that VMWare is a very much overpriced product, and that VMWare came about as a university faculty spin-off (from Stanford). Would the Plex86 community be willing to permit this to happen? The work would result in both internal publications/presentations at the participating departments and probably some submissions to regular journals/conferences. Moreover, we would attempt to make the basic design (not the details of the implementation) portable to IA-64 because that will be the next great push of the monopoly, after .NET . Thoughts?
