Hi Yong, Thanks for such a positive attitude--we need it. Kevin is concentrating on his school work now, and is getting psyched up for his upcoming month long trip to China (in search of his "root") before finally settling down in Chicago for the next seven years. There is nobody to work on this project at this moment; however, I will try to get back to it after Build 65. I will also try to recruit volunteer developers from the Linux community to participate in your project. Best of luck.
