Hi,

I'll put in what my plans are, but what you are looking for requires 
more than just my efforts.

I'm trying to get upstream CEDET stabilized and better tested for 
Emacsen before 23.2, and XEmacs.  I think it's pretty close, but also 
slow going since I don't get a lot of time in the summer for this sort 
of thing.

After that, I want to convert my repository to match the file naming 
scheme in Emacs to simplify merges.

Once that is done I'm hoping to focus on the "interface" part, and 
remove the many UI parts that have organically grown over the past many 
years, and focus on integration.  I can't do that alone, as I don't use 
most of the languages that CEDET supports, nor do I have to even write 
code for my job anymore, so it will be a big effort in that respect to 
find all the common use cases and start tuning things to those situations.

From a configuration point of view, I don't have a clear picture of 
that doing anything but getting simplified over time.
