Sure, I'll ask Iain about the timing.  His other Nature MCB review   
from this year  (PMID: 18097444) has a nice table of orthologs/predicted 
orthologs to the human kinetochore proteins/complexes in the 
supplementary materials  in case it could be helpful for the reference 
genome annotations.
Best,
Lisa

Particularly as a large number have been partially characterised over the past few years, and they are generally conserved (although the levels of conservation are low and difficult or impossible to detect with reciprocal best hits).
