 Actually, some people have taken control. Ed, Aryeh, and I started this project a 
couple of weeks ago and this list last week. The recent slashdotting threw a 
wrench into the works but we are starting to come back. 
 
 Ed handles administration of the project. He is currently working on getting us 
some hosting space and other admin tasks.  
 
 Aryeh and I have been working on the langauge design and implementation.  
 
 We havn't had much in the way of input on the list this weekend becuase the 
slashdotting kind of threw everything out of wack. We are just now starting to 
recover. 
 
 Emails and IMs have been flying between the three of us all weekend as we have 
tried to get things organized and ready to move forward. Sunday saw most of the 
work completed. we are just doing some final clean up now. We will probably have 
some things to post to the community in the next day or so that should help 
provide some direction.
