Is this group still alive...

Greetings,

    I've come across this group today and have been
reading alot of the old posts.   I realize that the
postings have petered off.  I am really interested in
this project.

    Does any one have some uml of how this system is
supposed to work.  I found one diagram here.

    Also, I like Aitor Garay's ideal of doing some
thing in Java.  I work in the video conferencing
industry (sales side, but have a bs in cs) and I have
seen some amazing (non-standard) codecs run in Java. 
It seems this company is doing some thing with Java
(probably j2me and jmf).

click on press releases

    I understand that h.264 is based off of mpeg 4 and
IBM has a package on alphaworks

    Although I have an excelent grasp on Java/C/C++, I
know next to nothing about rendering video.  Is there
a good starting point for this?

    Also, with the emergence of a number of h.264
complient devices, I would like to focus a great deal
of time on an efficiant server/switch board system.  

    If this group is still alive, please sound off
with any information that you've obtained on the
subject.  I'd like to compile a FAQ as soon as
possible to incourage people to join in.

-- Phillip
