AVRFreaks is one guy in Europe. I doubt he is any more connected to 
Atmel than any one of us.

Also realize the AVR Studio is not an open source project. Offer to 
help on a proprietary tool?

The biggest thing with AVR Studio, from what I understand, is their 
debugging, simulation, and programming. There are open source tools 
out there. It's just whether or not they work on Windows. It seems 
that they all work on Linux. It's just getting a complete tool set 
working under Windows and then packaging it and documenting it. Jeez, 
it sounds like a project....
