Re: Has the opensource version of CC been left to die on the vine?

Hi EJ,

My view is no, CC has not been left to die on the vine but no there will be
no trickle down from Cruise to CC.

CruiseControl has historically been developed through community
contributions not as part of an official Thoughtworks effort. The only
recent exception to this was the Dashboard which they developed when they
were working on "CruiseControl Enterprise". But when they changed directions
and developed Cruise that was left to the community.

As for why CC doesn't feature things that other CI servers offer, there's a
long story and short one. The short one is that is mostly a matter of what
has been submitted to the project.

As a project we're still actively taking contributions and are happy to get
new additions to the project.  Recently I haven't had a lot of time to work
on the project — I do spend time every day moderating the mailing list — but
I hope to have more time to spend in the near future.
