Any updated ETA on this?

P.S I notice a squashfs-devel mailing list cc'd here, but there's no link to it from the squashfs.org page. Buried in the middle of a lot of text is a link to the sourceforge squashfs project page, which has a link to "forums" which are not the same as mailing lists.
Since I knew it's called "squashfs-devel" I could google for that and find http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=squashfs-devel
But it might be nice to at least _hint_ about its existence on the web page. The main page's "contact" section is your personal email and nothing else...
