Yup, I did...

I found all the projects you listed, minus the translucency kernel
module, and the IFS implementation.

I played around with FIST a bit too, but I kept having
issues/inconsistencies with it, and too little time to do something
about it. Still lurk on the list occasionally.

So, does this mean you're thinking about doing this, in your copious
spare time? ;)

Cheers,
Liam
