I'm glad to see this still kicking, for awhile I was afraid it might get derailed when the enhanced editions were released along with Linux support.

I noticed that they only support a couple of chapters of Icewind Dale 2. Seems like IWD2 never gets any love, but honestly, I thought the adventure was garbage when it came out and still have never finished it. Ironically enough, I was inspired this past weekend to fire IWD2 up again but failed to get it to run in Wine (yet).

It does get plenty of love. It's just that out of all the Infinity Engine games, it has the most changes and lynxlynxlynx is developing GemRB almost on his own for the past five years. The engine was already outdated at that point, so they added in graphical changes and switched to the 3rd edition of Dungeons & Dragons, so it takes more love to support than the other games (save for Planescape: Torment maybe, which was forked before Baldur's Gate was even released).
