Emile shows some promise too, and it shares code with the mac/m68k/nubus effort, so it is the best idea. There is an emile project somewhere which probably has mailing lists, and there is a pmac-nubus project (on sourceforge i think), which has a mailing list altough not a very active one, and there where discussions on debian-powerpc about this in the past.
