Status of PyXPCOM?

[kenneth.m.mcdonald at sbcglobal.net]

I'm waiting for PyXPCOM with bated breath, but always have a
hard time figuring out what is actually happening with it--the
ActiveState mailing list is mostly inactive, and web searches
Always turn up very old, out of date pages. If it weren't for the 
fact that I know Mark Hammond is working,very, very hard on it,
I'd almost swear it was a dead project.

Is there a place to keep track of the status of this project?
I'm trying to write an application using FF as a base, but am of
course being hampered greatly by the limitations of JavaScript.
If I knew that PyXPCOM would, in a reasonable time frame,
be ready for pure Python/DOM guys like me (i.e. not C++/
XPCOM gurus) to let me interact with/program to the DOM
from Python, I'd just put off what I'm doing right now until
PyXPCOM was ready.

And of course, I'd really like to start contributing some DOM-
related Python code to the community also.

Thanks,
Ken
