Soldier Of Fortune magazine has a relatively good write-up of the XM-8 project in their current issue. Some highlights:
GREAT pics!
The chances of the weapon being adopted are now considered 50-50.
It WILL be able to be easily converted to 7.62x39mm, 5.45mm, and 6.3mm(?).
HK has NO plans to make a semiauto-only civilian version, regardless of any sunsets that may occur.
The impression of troops that have fired it is overwhelmingly positive.

I don't know. Call me old fashioned, the XM-8 just looks like a sci-fi movie prop to me. I'd like to see the 6.8mm M-16 uppers fielded and tested instead.
