Not exactly. Whedon clarifies his position here, well sort of.
Glad you corrected that; I searched first to see if someone had.
Hodar (and anyone) -- as far as I know, the best site through which to keep abreast of Whedonverse doings is:

I truly hope you are correct. However, your link had no quotes from Josh Whedon; it had other people stating what they 'thought' Whedon had meant. Assertions were made that Josh's statements were taken out of context, and they might have been. I wasn't there for the whole interview.
I would LOVE to see Firefly get picked up. It's much better than any other Sci-Fi series I have seen in a quite a while. It has humor, and it has soul; the character development is first rate.
I had never watched an episode of Firefly, until I heard about it after watching Serenity on the big screen 3x. Then I bought the series, and understand why there is such a following for Firefly.
