For the last couple of months a new project based on OpenWrt has been underway. 
Calling itself X-Wrt, this project develops packages and pre-built firmware images that further its goal of making OpenWrt available to a wider range of users. 
Their new web administration interface, webif^2, is available for White Russian RC5, RC6, and snapshots of the upcoming 0.9 release. A Kamikaze version is under active development as well, but not yet ready for general use.
