Possibilities of an MUI4 port and Shinkuro's initiative are just 2 options being discussed.

It is nice to see some positive actions being attempted.

I don't believe cloning (i.e. Zune) or creating some compatibility layer is the way to go as it just duplicates work and is perpetually behind. Better to approach the author(s) and negotiate access to the sources instead. I don't see why MUI 4+ isn't just open sourced really.

"I don't see why MUI 4+ isn't just open sourced really."

There could be a thousand reasons for that but of course it would be the ideal situation.

I have emailed Stuntz and asked into various scenarios, will keep you all posted if/when I get a reply.

If anyone is interested in doing the port or want Stuntz to do it why not email him and ask if it's possible and what would be required.

I did that *4 weeks ago* to his sasg.com address, without a reply yet.

He only got back home presumeably a short time ago and seems to be more interested in taking a ride anyway (pure speculation): Private HP

Strange coincidence. On August 3rd he was 20 meters from my work. It looks like he was in the Whistler bike park. I could have waited in the line and asked him directly to open source mui4. Would have been fun to ride with him and then suddenly hit him with the request.
Oh the missed opportunities.

Looong time ago I was asked to do a survey behind closed doors, to determine some of the important things from a developer standpoint.
The results were touching really.
Most people just wanted a little feedback...an occasional pat on the back for a job well done...basically some acknowledgement.
