There is a project called CobCy(1) which is a COBOL->C translating
compiler. It as about 40-50% of the syntax working. It uses flex/bison and
is been developed under GPL. Unfortunately development has stopped.

As for joining our efforts, yes I think that would be a good idea. The
parser stage would the place where both projects have commonality, thus
would be a good place to start.
