In truth, nested data parallelism has taken longer than we'd hoped to be ready for abuse :-). We have not lost enthusiasm though -- Manual, Roman, Gabi, Ben, and I talk on the phone each week about it. I think we'll have something usable by the end of the summer.

That's very encouraging! I think people (me included) have gotten the impression that the project ran into problems so challenging that it stalled. Perhaps a small status update once in a while would give people a better idea of what's going on. :)

Cheers,
