Great!

But not in Fedora ;) Also there are some binary packages for ubuntu.

Yes. Specially after the transition to simspark SVN, windows support is 
broken. :(

I hope so! :)

Yes, maybe (I think they should talk about this to MC! But they are 
silent for now ;) )

And about myself: I'll hopefully work on a new protocol for agent (and 
probably monitor) communication (most probably through Player 
integration), migration to CMake (I've found some comparisons in favor 
of cmake but none of them were up to date. If anyone has anything 
against it, please let me know) and implementing the Sync mode; in no 
particular order :P. (My main goal is player integration for now).

It would be really nice if someone can check ode 0.10's new features and 
possibly implementing them. Any volunteers?

Good luck,
Hedayat
