I'm unsure where they actually keep their code though, maybe someone could hit Scott for some more data.
If it's in the obvious place on bazaar.launchpad.net, there's no code to speak of.
I'll try asking around if they feel like sharing some ideas with us here, maybe we could get some cross distros work going if the design appeals to everyone.
Scott from Ubuntu mailed me the specs a while back. I will upload it in the new init wiki page. Someone else needs to look at the code when its available and compare it with initng and others.
