Porting OpenRC to Archlinux - I Need Developers

I've been off and on playing with OpenRC on a VM. So far, I've just modified it so it doesn't create file conflicts and I've modded some of the essential startup scripts to make it boot, but it still has a long way to go in terms of getting all the /etc/rc.d/* scripts ported. This is a bit of an experiment but I think OpenRC would boot faster, and is more organized in terms of configuration...

The problem is I don't really have time to develop it as much/fast as I'd like, because I'm managing the Nightingale (http://getnightingale.com, https://github.com/ilikenwf/nightingale-hacking and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52721) music player development and also contributing code and fixes on it, and on top of that am doing some odd jobs, and hopefully will be hired by a place I'm getting interviewed at Monday.

So, anybody want to help in porting what's needed at the least to get OpenRC to at least properly boot a base arch system? We can build initscripts for the daemons after that.

The github repo for archlinux-openrc:
https://github.com/ilikenwf/archlinux-openrc

On AUR:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52311

I HIGHLY suggest you only use this on a VM.

I haven't messed with it in a while, but I did have it booting...just no hardware or networking setup...
