Yep, did not hear of this one too. I'm more interested in the Xilinx chips at the moment, but may take a look at the Lattice stuff later.

Want to help with the XC6SLX45? :)

Maybe. I've got an Atlys board (but I'm not sure I'm ready to brick it yet).

Currently I'm more interested in trying to use it with the existing open source place&route tools ( https://code.google.com/p/vtr-verilog-to-routing/ ).
