I think the offer should be made anyway. Your situation could change in the future.

A part time contract could also be an option I guess?

I know writing code and testing it takes time. And that is ok.

Have there been any noteworthy news in the last ~22 days
since the last reply here in this thread? Just curious.

Umm . . . a whole lot! If you click the link in the post just above yours (this one), youā€™ll see that Haiku is now booting on the HiFive Unmatched board, and quite a lot is now working. You can scroll through and see the whole process of X512 getting it running on real hardware.
