Instead of talking about forking the codebase,  might I suggest an alternative route: actually doing it. Simply talking  about this gets you nowhere, and just irritates the developers(wherever  they might be now...). Instead, grab a copy of the arch repository, the  0.2.1 tarball, whatever, and actually do some coding. Bring something  to the table besides good intentions. If you don't have the skills or  energy to hack out something significant, what makes you think that you  have the drive to maintain a fork? Look at the  roadmap(http://www.y-windows.org/docs_roadmap.html), decide on what you  want to do, and just do it.
