Replication development is co-ordinated on the pgreplication-general
list which Bruce mentions below, not on -hackers. Any interested
developers should subscribe to it, read the relevant research papers
on Postgres-R, and contribute code.

As for the speed of development, I've started to contribute code recently,
and Darren Johnson (the main replication developer) says he should have some
free time soon -- there are also some other new developers interested in
the project. So while there was a period of inactivity, I think that progress
is now being made.

I can't make any claims about a schedule -- since everyone working on the
project is a volunteer, the only release goals I'd like to set are "when it's
ready". The code right now is pretty unstable, so I don't think it's appropriate
for the main CVS tree until we work it into better shape.
