In case you are not subscribed to the thunar-workers mailinglist, here's 
the daily newsflash: ;-)

I added some bits and pieces of information about the python prototype 
to the wiki (besides some other wiki changes) at

  http://thunar.xfce.org/wiki/ui:overview#prototype

and there's now also a script (run by cron once per day) that creates a 
snapshot of the design/ui CVS module and puts it in the download area, 
so people without developer access can participate in the development.

greets,
