OK, a month has passed since I posted anything. The truth is, I'm not working on the mod at the moment, because:
1) I'm hoping of some sort of a semi-official megamod collection which seems to be a real possibility now. I want a generally agreed upon list of components, families, techs etc., much like the DW Extended is generally considered semi-canon. Making everything from scratch just to add some races would be silly.
2) I'm busy as hell with
modding OpenXCom.
However! To prove that I actually did something, I'm sending you a link to the current version of the mod. It is not finished, but it's functional. It contains some races from vanilla and Haree's Distand Worlds Extended, some races from Master of Orion II (working on these was the chief part of the mod) and some of my own, mostly humanoids. It also contains some new plagues from Simulation01 and Mesthione, as well as governments that were somewhat inspired by Dwaine's works.
What it doesn't have is:
* Proper shipsets,
* Galactopedia entries,
* Troop images,
* Racial techs and components for the new races (though I don't like this much).
I also think I'll bring back all races from vanilla and Haree's mod. This wasn't the initial idea, but I've decided for this project to be less niche and more community-oriented.
The mod may be downloaded from here:

(BTW it's a scandal we don't have a proper, dedicated DW mod portal yet.)
