Maybe (hopefully) not true;  I did say "seems to be . . . "..

But note the dates of the beta (only) versions mentioned on that page:

   2.2.0b         Copyright 2008

   2.2.0b5        25 Dec 2007

   2.2.0b12      10 Sept 09

And the page itself -- quite crudely done -- has hardly changed in all 
that time.

Not an encouraging pace of development, for something that's going to 
have to be a very sophisticated piece of software to be successful.  I 
monitored the page monthly for quite a while; eventually gave up on 
looking at it maybe a year ago.
