Checking just now, I find this on the Jahshaka website - it would appear that 
my observations were on the mark:

"We are pleased to announce that the jahshaka project has been liberated from 
its evil benefactors and is now free to get back to its roots and start 
building the high end visual effects tools it set out to deliver!

For the past 2 years our project has been held up by a group of sponsors who 
had alternative goals when they took the project over......"

I don't know if HP is among the "evil sponsors" to which they are referring. I 
had always thought they were one of the better corporate players in the world 
of Linux, so I hope it's not the case.
