Well, we are interested in muLinux because we don't want to start yet
another distro :-)
We have a set of well defined hardware plattform with several
restrictions (16Mb RAM, 32 Mb "disk", parallel-port floppy drive, etc)
and soft restrictions in order of build the applications set of a PDA
with steroids.
The modular concept of muLinux and the work done in the addons disks
seems to be perfect and reusable for our project.

I'm working in a initial prototype based in a muLinux with minimal
changes (I think we'll need some kernel reconfig because things like the
parallel-port drive).
If the results are good I'll create a set of two or three addons disks
with the exact tools we need. The addons will be free except some app
(to be exact, a voice synth) and could be published with muLinux.
Other development issues in wich we could help might be improving the
documentation and contributing with bugfixes (if any) and enhancements
(if necessary).
In two months our client will value the prototype. If they like it,
they'll contract the continuing of the project in order of doing:
* improving the integration of apps
* generalized i18n and l10n into Spanish
* improving distro and apps accesibility for blind users.
As you can see, not all the project is exclusively focused on muLinux
but it's capital component for the project.
BTW: Did you ever thought about starting a SourceForge project for
muLinux? It offers html archives maillists, cvs, bug tracking, forums,
etc.
