I have.   If you have time, please search the mailing lists for the words 
"webconf development"   [BTW - Webconf isn't just bering-uClibc - it works 
with classic Bering as well.  Please don't blame lack of exposure on the 
bering-uClibc crew.] 


Not that you asked, but here's my $0.02.  There are a number of reasons why 
development has been slow, but here's one idea:

A) its hard work 
B) there's no reward... I believe in "ego" as being a factor for OS 
development, and right now there's no place for a budding webconf developer 
to put his creation on the leaf site for the world to see.

I've had a number of conversations (see the mailing lists) with people who 
want to write a lwp, and the only place we have for them to put their work 
right now is in my devel cvs tree.   

To work on a project, then have it stored under someone else's name, buried in 
a cvs archive with no link to the homepage doesn't have the same reward as 
working on OpenWRT, posting your ipkg and letting the world see it.

Even in OpenWRT, web configuration is slow - so I think it proves the "hard 
work" bit. :-)

<rant> To get to these links, I went to http://leaf.sourceforge.net -> 
Developers (box at top) -> Angelacos, Nathan (What's Related Box) -> Webconf 
(UI Box)  Not exactly where I would look it I wanted to develop a web 
interface for LEAF </rant>

Mike, please don't take this as personal criticism against the leaf website - 
we all appreciate what you ARE able to do, I'm just making an honest 
observation, based on the early interest I had seen in the web interface, and 
what had happened to many of the developers.
