The core developers merged my bindings in with the main branch a long
time ago, and yes that's the most recent codebase from that work.

Oh yes, I'm still a regular on their IRC channel and mailing lists.
OpenCog is closer to my passion, and I already had 2 proposals for
OpenCog this summer ready, but unfortunately the project didn't get
accepted for GSoC this year.  I plan to work more with OpenCog as a
potential PhD project, so am still am involved with OpenCog.
