This sounds interesting, BUT without seeing it, it's tough to know where you are in the project.
There have been a lot of forks, and some of them are good some are bad. But without the github after close to a month since the announcement it's kind of difficult to get behind it. As of now, I don't know if you having slow progress, no progress or are about to release it 12 seconds after I submit this post making me look like an idiot :-)
