still waiting on the dev kit. =( my only hope is that SOMEONE is still monitoring these pages for updates and will consider this a project worthy of further interest.

I have continued to select and develop software. This project has grown and now the vision includes creating a turn-key publishing workstation based on 100% free software. This will include pre-configured installations of ghostscript, (absolutely mandatory for the ps pdf workflow anyway)Scribus, The Gimp, tex, lyx, ps2pdf, bookland.py, and various other python chunks that will tie it all together.

I'm at the point where the legwork is basically done and now having a dev kit will be the major pushing point to continue development.
