Patience is needed by all. If he delivers, it will come when he thinks it's finished enough to be shown to all.

If he doesn't, hell... I'll donate since he endeavored something that is a pretty daunting task that none of us (myself included) hadn't attempted prior.

My hat is off to him, release or no release. If anybody can assist him, I'm sure they're in contact with him or they should be if there's anything he still needs. Think community, less whining folks.
