Well even though I have been mostly talking to myself in this thread, I might as well keep updating this.  Today bushing finally gave us a update regarding marcan and BootMii.  If you already didn't know marcan, member of Team Twiizers and highly respected Wii dev has "said to" have left the Wii scene due to problems with other devs sadly but luckily busing is still planing on releasing BootMii that will for sure change the Wii scene forever.

Just a brief note, since I haven’t written in a while –

Yes, Marcan has shifted his attention to things non-Wii related. I can hardly blame him; the only reason any of us do what wee do is because wee find it fun, so when it stops being fun — what’s the point? He’s still around, if you know where to look, and I hope that once wee release BootMii, wee’ll see some neat projects emerge from it.

Yes, BootMii is still alive; I still can’t promise a release date, but most of the code has been written and wee’re now to the point of testing it out and adding some polish. It’s been installed on about 12 Wiis so far and nobody’s been bricked; I hope that wee can release a “public beta” within the next couple of weeks. (In this case, “public beta” will mean “wee’ve tested this out quite a bit and are fairly confident that you won’t regret trying it, but not everything is finished and wee can’t make too many promises). I would expect those of you who have older Wiis (i.e. those who have a vulnerable boot1) to have an easier time installing it, but wee intend to eventually add support for as many of your Wiis as possible.

Anyway, here’s a sneak peek at what it will look like:
