It seems that they are missing a leader (or benevolent dictator)..<p>There are also two similar projects about graphics cards:
"The Open Graphics Project" ( <a href="http://wiki.opengraphics.org/tiki-index.php" rel="nofollow">http://wiki.opengraphics.org/tiki-index.php</a> ) which aims to build a "modern" graphics card, but unfortunately things are a bit too costly for people who might be interested :S
As an outsider, quick look shows that this project has stalled :S<p>And an alternative called "Project VGA" ( <a href="http://wacco.mveas.com/" rel="nofollow">http://wacco.mveas.com/</a> ) that aims to develop a simple and low cost card. But also no news about progress for a year now.. :S
