	Sure. A sleeping project always gives a bad impression. Since HP 
announcement, I have received a lot of mails from potential new 
developers, but until now, no one has proposed patches.

	Rewrite an operating system is a huge work and I will continue if, and 
only if, some developers will be able to accept responsabilities (code, 
translation, documentation, web pages...).

	Best regards,
