As far as I know, Tomas Hajny (hope I spell this correct ;)) cooperates with Yuri
Prokushev. Tomas maintains the OS/2 port.

The main point of cooperation is to extend/modify the OS/2 RTL so it makes full use
of OS/2 features, I think. Maybe they will also remove the need for EMX,
and go to a native os/2 application model.
