It was mentioned on this list, but I don't think I ever ran across an e-mail or posting that the project was not going through or had changed. May have come in an e-mail and went to my junk folder and I never saw it. I definitely was interested in getting a couple. Had given the Silver on Soma (S.O.S.) shifters some thought. I have some Suntour XC friction shifters back in use on my 1994 Bridgestone MB-1 retro build. I don't know if it is because it shifting across only 5 gears in back or what, but it didn't make me think I was missing anything not having index. I have a set of the original Suntour downtube shifters that I got way back when mounted on my Schwinn Voyageur. Awaiting a new stem so I can get that bike up and running again. That one will shift over 7 speeds. Look forward to getting some riding on that once the revisions are done.
What was Plan B for the thumb shifter project? Making the cable barrel bigger to be more compatible with SRAM derailleurs? I have Shimano Deore DX and XT in use on a couple bikes with Wilderness Trail Bikes shifter mounts along with Suntour XC-Pro/Comp/LTD index on several bikes. Still would get a couple sets of these to use.
