Absolutely - the new system in development (that splits a small portion of the reward with the platform you're using) might be a way to really fund a project like this. I look forward to seeing where that feature heads and when it lands!
Reprint's doing alright, albeit slow. We've hit some hiccups on the business side of things, it seems the market really wants an inclusive tool (with authoring and GUI components), which is just something it doesn't have and will take a lot of time to build.
The open source project itself is working great though, the "updates" section on steemdb is actually running the newest version. Right now it also seems a bit too technically demanding for those who would migrate over from wordpress. It's definitely turning out to be a marathon project rather than the sprint we had hoped it would be.
