Two companies previously mentioned as being involved with the project, Mandriva and Turbolinux, appear to not be participating at this time. Progeny Linux Systems continues to leading the way.

This makes sense as Turbolinux and Mandriva are both RPM based while Debian (and all their derivatives, like progeny) are DPKG based. What's in a package format you say, well, compare them and see. It's not easy to "merge" the two and still be able to keep the system in a sensible state.
I didn't understand the first announcement in the firsplace. A couple of the least likely distribution vendors starting to work on something common?
