Okay, I myself am well aware of this project since I followed it with much
interest as I already said I've been busy here and then with this keybaord
stuff for two years.
Here's the url:
http://schwarz.developer.debian.org/kbd/index.html
And here's whats on their page:
The home page of the Debian Keyboard Configuration Project has been
removed from this server since the project was unmaintained for several
months. If you are intrested in taking over these pages, please drop me a
note.

This project not getting anywhere was one of the reasons for me to write
this little howto. It's just a start, and there are others like it.
But this howto tries to address the core of the problem. And I am activly
trying to get redhat to include these fixes and other distributions i hope
will follow, if debian is interested in my work please drop me a note.
I'm more then willing to work with any distribution to get this fixed.
Regards,
Hans
