Thanks for clarification - got that wrong.

We were discussing the same thing here at Development Seed.

I am afraid we'll have to wait until the baby takes shape and there
is actually code to build on. Obviously there are ways to make things
faster by helping Aron with vetting solutions and further on
with testing, patching and feedback. I got some time set aside for
this.

When exactly it makes sense to jump on the new platform depends a lot
on the deadlines of the project at hand. The SoC's deadlines are
published here: http://aggregation.novaak.net/
