I became pessimistic about the solution. When I got interesed about Voynich Manuscript a few years ago I suspected it to be some mega, super-duper cipher. But I changed my mind. Today I am in the "gibberish team". I am not working on the solution because I simpy believe that the solution doesn't exist.
On the other hand proving that something is gibberish is extremely hard. I have no idea how it could be done without any doubt and I guess other people believing in the hoax theory have the same problem. So I'm not working actively on that too.
I believe however that some progress can be made and was actually made in the area of references. We can discover different inspirations and related stuff for VM and while it's not the big thing that everyone here would like to see, it's still interesting, entertaining and fruitful.
And of course I wish all the good luck in the world to the people working on their solutions
