One thing I think we can be sure of, it's too early to put any info up, even on the status page. They don't have a source for their claims, and say they are only in the consultation stage. Although they state they have a positive outlook, we have the recent experience with ALYS as a reminder of how consulting with Yahama is far from confirmation.

There's probably tons of hopeful people that contact Yahama hoping to make a Vocaloid, the vast majority of whom fail. Then we have the previous track record of fan-groups trying to make Vocaloids – Ring and Lui collapsing even after approval. We don't know anything about this group's finances, technical capabilities or expertise.

That said, they are a well-known fansite and if we assume their word is true that they have spoken to SBS, we know that fan groups that collaberate with existing companies have a better chance (Vocatone, for example).
