"VERY soon"tm
Yes, unfortunately, I'm only as good as other peoples word.
BitJohn said the coins would be looked into when they have completed the data center move, and that they want to support them. The data center move was completed a while ago, and I have sent him a message about week ago. As yet he has not replied, maybe they are just very busy.
I do not know if they intend to support the coins any longer, but I will re message bitJohn and ask again. As for our exchange, unfocus is working on it, but bear in mind he has a full time job and a personal life.
We (me, dreamwatcher and unfocus) are looking at other possibilities at present. Shad3dOne has setup a development room on his forum. we will be posting there with updates and plans to move forward.
As for KED the code is almost ready for the relaunch. Dreamwatcher and unfocus would like to relaunch sooner rather than later, but I wanted to take my time. I personally don't see any reason to rush on the relaunch, but I do see their point that to delay too long will be harmful.
the UFC website will be up and running by the weekend, with links to pools, forum, downloads, block-explorer. and The GPL site soon after.
