A clean merge with the .ch guys would be much better than competing projects with similar-but-not-quite-identical goals.
So do we think. Still we cannot trade security ideals for the opportunity to merge. They come first. For the moment it seems not very possbile, especially since they avoided most conversation with us. But we will keep working towards that for sure.

I am gradually getting concerned about their skills & commitment, but by-&-large, they do seem to be well-meaning, and mostly aiming for the same kind of project goals as ciphershed.
They do seem well-meaning. However not really aming for the same kind of project goals, except for "keep TrueCrypt alive". All they are writing sounds more like they want to attrack a big fanbase (with promises of new features on a regular basis, equal to a promise of lower taxes if you ask me). Barely anything seems to be based on security decisions so far.
