I'd be interested in checking out such a project, but I don't really see
the point in starting one.  There are already several great IF tools out
there that are already freely available!  The only reason I would see to
start one is either for pure intellectual curiosity or because you have
some feature ideas that no one else has implemented (and you'd rather
cash in on the potential glory than submit a patch!).

Best of luck finding what you're looking for... but maybe you should
start writing one yourself and post here about it! :)

Cheers
