As I told somebody else just this morning, it's more or less "in stasis"
as I'm currently working up to 13 hours a day on another project.

The original network code was wrong from the outset, what it should have
done instead of a command response, was to package up the request and
stick it in a queue, which should be forwarded to the server in one block
whenever a function is executed which requires a result to be returned. I
started doing this, and I think the code I did is in the CVS.

If it's in the networking code, I'd abandon it and start again with the
new model (much more efficient and less problems with error conditions).

My preference is for people to use the CVS tree on linuxhacker.org. If
anyone else wants write access, just let me know.

Cool. You're not the first person to say that they are seriously
considering allocating a developer to work full time on Nano-X either :)
I'd really like to see Nano-X take off, I just don't have any free time to
work on it. Linuxhacker.org is of course always at your disposal for
mailing list, web, ftp, cvs, etc. services...
