Developer Status:
There is one, confirmed by BK, and jyap contacted me directly to tell me he's working on it with a friend (read up).

BK has not disappeared just really busy, he's still active on Twitter, and he's now promoting his book, "Bitcoin Big Bang". Plus he's had more non-virtual-currencies appearances on CNBC and other places as well because we're in the fourth quarter, pretty much every business everywhere is scrambling to get their year-end stuff in order.

Also I don't blame him for coming around here; honestly if I wasn't given the "Community Manager" title I probably wouldn't be here either based on the kinds of attitudes a lot of these posts are, it's a huge headache.

BK has been burned too many times giving estimates that others could not fulfill, so, no estimates are given at all anymore, and they probably never will be. Basically bad situations by series of bad eggs, but it's definitely getting turned around.
