When will work begin on EB2?

Versions above v0.80 should hopefully just be bug fixes, finishing up concepts, balancing, etc. Most of the hard work porting to v1.5 should be done, and we wont be porting over to BI.

Let's wait a while with EB2, and let some other guys do the hard work with finding out the features of the new engine :P

Yes but technicly there would be no difference between 0.8 and 1.0 its just 1.0 would be released later and have more work in it. Arent i correct?
Although i understand that 1.0 is going to have no placeholders. Otherwise i would have thought they can mess around with numbers how they like. So pretty much any number between 0.8 and 1.0 is just the same as 0.8 concept wise.

There are many scripts that won't be making it into 0.8 that we plan to include in 1.0. I don't understand what you mean by "technically no difference"? There will be a lot of new stuff in 1.0, I don't know where you've heard this, but there will be lots of new stuff in here.

Work can't start until the pack extractor is released, and that isn't released until the update is released, and that isn't released for another 2 weeks.

Then EB 1.0 has to be released before it is the only focus and for that to happen 0.8 has to be released and for that to happen the EB team needs to be modding and for that to happen you need to stop distracting them with all these threads!
