Aha, good to know. *chuckle* A combined effort sounds fantastic.
The project itself isn't new. It's been around for a couple years at this point at least. And Zack, IIRC, used to work on it. Whatever rift that came between him and the project, I'm glad to see it resolved as there was little point in two very similar projects being worked on at the same time.
Best of luck, Zack. Between TR, Skyrim, Province: Cyrodiil, your Argonia work, and OpenMW I'm excited for the future of Morrowind.
