That's probably a bad example to choose, since (AFAICT) that group has
got itself into gear and is likely imminently to produce some real
workable ideas/working code.
TWGs in general aren't a stunning success, but a lot of good solid
work seems to be done, and we may see others than the specials, maths
fonts and TDS groups also producing something soon.

Would that we could pay you all...
