Jahshaka had a lot of promise, and got a bunch of money a couple 
of years back, including from HP, but, since then, there's been 
more work on the website than on the code -- again, I could be 
wrong, but, there were claims being make of a Ver3 release two 
years ago that was imminent, and so far as I know, it has still 
not happenned. I had high hopes for them at one time, but I've 
since become a bit more wary. Cinelerra CV is definitely the 
most under-active-development project in the NLE field right now 
as far as I can tell, with a sizable group of coders actively 
participating in their forums and on IRC.
