I figured with all the changes I'm making to kusaba I might as well just be the one continuing development on the software.
So without further hesitation I am announcing that I am taking up development of kusaba.
I am working toward a kusaba 2.0 release.
I am also working on getting a sourceforge project for it.
But for now you can keep up to date on my progress and planed features through this thread:
