i am working on a new project that is currently in alpha. however, i anticipate releasing into beta within 1-2 weeks. i have some of the code staged to github, and have started a wiki (note: half those that read the wiki tell me it makes no sense, and half tell me it's great!)
in any case, i am currently working on implementing this platform on GAE, but am actively working to deploy a range of services across aws, azure and gae with full, open builds, everything for all three platforms.
i started this project in january, and will take me until end of year to complete across all three platforms. i have the technical skill to complete project on time, myself.
however, at least two developers have expressed a very strong desire to be involved, and the more that get involved, the quicker this thing can grow legs.
what's also great is this is especially for you if you love web 2.0, oauth, social software, and html5 development as opposed to having to download and install every freakin' alt-chain that comes along...
At the end of the year, there will be enterprise class implementations of full suite of shaman server classes
with any additional help, we'll be able to generate dozens or maybe even hundreds of apps on this platform during the year's development
current skill-sets immediately helpful:
server-side: Translation, jinga templating (to help with translation template/i18n file mappings, etc), python, ndb, experience with oauth
client-side: jquery, standard dhtml and html5, canvas, three.js, any other skills helpful to build engaging apps (e.g. json, yui, etc)

https://github.com/shamaniotas/yotagem/wikiso if you see value of mining in the browser, understand the transactional limitations of bitcoin network, don't believe in centralization (but also understand fully-mirrored primitive p2p is not the answer), comprehend the value of micro (and sub-micro) economics and transactions, then maybe you'll be interested to watch how this evolves over the next year, or even get involved!
note: i have taken a complete leave of work for the next year to dedicate my life to this project. regardless of win or lose, this ship is going to float, and all her flags will be flyin' by the end of this year. this may seem crazy, and it is crazy enough that it just might work!
