My WordPress plugin will be avaliable on wordpress.org as my hosting request has been aproved:

Stargazer, your plugin hosting request has been aproved.
You now have access to your SVN repository at

http://svn.wp-plugins.org/wp-headlineanimator/

with your WordPress.org username and password (the one you use on the forums).
Enjoy!

In other words, development goes on. If I am lucky, I am able to report version 1.0 soon.
