"There are 2 experienced developers who have agreed to prepare this, on top of the work already done by the venerable Tempestious/Pakt/Dougal. The latter have indicated they are currently adding a updated and more comprehensive driver pack, along with updated NTFS support. It would be nice to make the changes to this, but I have yet to hear back when this will be available. If those devleopers would like to progress in the meantime and build a first alpha, perhaps these updates can be added later)"

"I have asked Ttuxxx (an accomplished packer) to put together a few minor tweaks and app changes to 2.14r which he says he will be doing when he has a window in the next week from his work. Then I will be asking the various feature co-ordinators from the threads marked TS3.03ce to add their packages and wizards to this base. Ive cleared the decks in terms of my (ecomoney's) other work, and will be full-time on the job from now on until it is completed."
