It isn't really secret. We went back more than a few steps earlier in the
year, which is one reason it would
not be useful at all in its current state. At the moment, it is not, by any
means, a series of incremental improvements
that could simply be checked in to hg or published on a 9p server. At times
it can go many days
before it can even be recompiled, let alone run, because old fundamental
structures have
been re-organised. Large chunks are in flux. Although Nemo was working
steadily
away, after some initial work, I was bound up with another project (that
has nearly finished),
which meant I couldn't even review and consider some of the changes until
early August.
Then there was an August break, although I did manage to do some work on it
of interest to me.
Meanwhile, the other project I mentioned has changed my priorities, so I
anticipate more churn.
