it isn't being passed over. there is nothing to pass over at the moment. it's 
a work in progress. when it is ready then it will be offered as an option at 
a *minimum* and will be examined for use in default set ups. but until it is 
ready, there is no possibility to do so. hope that explains things better.

the raptor developers have been talking to artists and other developers, 
including myself, for quite some time now. there has been communication, 
though the raptor team has chosen to run with their own UI theories rather 
than go to the OpenUsability folks. this is completely their right, and we'll 
see how it shakes out in the end. experimentation is good and all that. but 
yes, they have been communicative. just in their own way.

relaly, it seems that it has mostly been people outside of the raptor and 
kickoff teams that have been helping confuse the situation =)
