MilesBuzz! - When in the world will the DL/CO/NW partnership & codeshare be implemented?

I'm posting this in buzz since it applies to three airlines.

I also searched, but all the threads I came up with have been dormant, some many months.

Specifically, I want to know when I can earn CO miles when flying DL.

Generally, though, this whole thing seems to be taking forever to implement. Allegedly, DL/NW mile sharing was to start April 1 (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum21/HTML/009534.html), but there is no mention of partnerships on any of the following pages:
Delta Partners (http://www.delta.com/skymiles/member_guide/earn_miles/index.jsp#air)
Continental Partners (http://www.continental.com/onepass/earn/air.asp)
Northwest Partners (http://www.nwa.com/freqfly/earn/airfl.shtml)I've got to wonder if they aren't stalling, since the whole thing was in reaction to US/UA, and then they both went Ch. 11, though US is out, now, but Ch. 7 is still possible for UA. Phew!

See When will we see some benefits from the CO/DL alliance? [Continental Forum, post by coplat 04-15-2003 02:29 PM (almost 21 hours before this thread was opened at 04-16-2003 05:12 PM)]

Thanks for the info, SPN Lifer. However, I'm ignorant about coplat. Is s/he a solid source for info? 21 posts since Dec 2001 -- sounds like either a marginal FTer or just a rock solid source who rarely has occasion to post.

At least that thread shows there is some movement to making this happen.
