TruVote: It's Important

I'm desperately seeking to contact anyone involved with the TruVote project. I am but one guy with a DVcam, but I'd love to do a short documentary on TruVote. I'm hoping now that NashvilleIsTalking.com has me blogrolled, this might be seen by someone -- anyone -- who can point me in the right direction.

If you're unfamiliar with TruVote, check out this article by Bob Fitrakis (excerpt below).

Gibbs’ TruVote machine is a marvel. After voters touch the screen, a paper ballot prints out under plexiglass and once the voter compares it to his actual vote and approves it, the ballot drops into a lockbox and is issued a numbered receipt. The voter’s receipt allows the track his particular vote to make sure that it was transferred from the polling place to the election tabulation center.
This is the most current information I have found on the project, and it's woefully out of date. The project's website seems to be gone, so...

Help me, if you can. Please.
