I just wonder whether it is time for a rethink about open-source software, generally the recieved wisdom is that open-source will be maintained by the 'community', but the reality is that it is substantially maintained by a few unpaid developers.
Open source software is maintained if the software is worthwhile. In this particular case the software *is* worthwhile and is maintained and actively developed, except under a new name. This is an example which illustrates the "received wisdom" is in fact true (and by which other historical examples e.g., Mambo/Joomla) are also illustrative. -- Lev Lafayette, BA (Hons), GradCertTerAdEd (Murdoch), GradCertPM, MBA (Tech Mngmnt) (Chifley) mobile: 0432 255 208 RFC 1855 Netiquette Guidelines http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt
