I spoke to Harriet a couple of weeks ago, and she says that an author has been chosen to finish the series, but she wasn't at liberty to say who it was until the contract was signed.

Tor officially announced the choice of Brian Sanderson as the author selected to complete the last book back on December 7th: http://www.tor-forge.com/NewsArticle.aspx?articleId=647

It sounds like the contracts were signed shortly after you spoke to Harriet.

Harriet is going to be doing an "encyclopedia" about the series.
There already is one: http://www.tor-forge.com/book.aspx?isbn=9780312862190

It will be interesting to see what Harriet does.
