Well actually I would like to work with a programmer design that I might integrate into my future projects. My time is offered as a stepping stone to get me involved in developing a programmer. If their is no project, and nobody with a need, I would not have the motivation to do it. Besides, if I integrated one of the existing programmers I see all over the place, such as David Taits LPT or the defunct serial ITU design or ... they all deal with Serial or LPT, and if I want a product for the future, I should be looking at what we will need.
