Checking just now, I find this on the Jahshaka website - it would appear that
my observations were on the mark:
"We are pleased to announce that the jahshaka project has been liberated from
its evil benefactors and is now free to get back to its roots and start
building the high end visual effects tools it set out to deliver!
For the past 2 years our project has been held up by a group of sponsors who
had alternative goals when they took the project over......"

I don't know if HP is among the "evil sponsors" to which they are referring. I
had always thought they were one of the better corporate players in the world
of Linux, so I hope it's not the case.
That is probably why I never heard of it before.
I did come across this article about editing videos in Linux, even
though it is Ubuntu based, it does point to a area that is lacking.
What is strange is Linux is used in the film industry, just not in
area's that many are looking at.
