Yes, I am still reading this. :-)

While rur-ple is very usable in its current state (1.0 release candidate 3),
there are still a few things left to clean up for the final 1.0 release.
"Unfortunately", I have not had the energy to spend any time on it for well
over a year.  I put "unfortunately" in quotation marks the lack of time
spent on rur-ple has been caused in large parts by working on Crunchy.  And
"one of these days", Crunchy will support an embedded world for Reeborg to
move in.    Perhaps it will make use of Steve's Webster...

Cheers,

André
