At the risk of belaboring the obvious, have you been
following this group (comp.std.unix) and reading the snitch
reports from members of the verious groups?  They are
available by anonymous FTP from many archive sites, or in
hard copy from usenix as published in their newsletter
(;login:).  These reports include best guesses of timeframe
from participants in the groups.  They often include brief
summaries of the groups' objectives.

Send e-mail to office@usenix.org for information on
obtaining back copies of ;login:.  And send a
note and, if you can, a contribution to usenix
to thank them for sponsoring the snitch coordinator
and publishing the reports.
