On the general development time, 2 members of our team were dedicated fulltime to SYS, and are now struggling financing their lives as the funds are not released by moolah. Simple it is, these two needed to get other jobs to pay the bills, so they have less time for coding (understandable, right?). We do have private repo's that work is happening on, and also on the different branches of syscoin (take a look, you can checkout some functionality in buggy alpha state already, e.g. assets).
