The status is what you would expect. We had a core character set, but some users wanted explicit ligatures. I resisted that because ligation, while rare, is productive or at least unpredictable. Then a hiatus occurred because there were discussions about whether ZWJ could do the ligation. It turns out that it can, so that problem is solved. Another issue is whether the default directionality of the script should be LTR or RTL. I have not been pressing further on this script because of other commitments and lack of resources. Please see Unicode Technical Note #4 http://www.unicode.org/notes/tn4 for information about how you (all) can help.
