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

And I should also say that over the years, I've always been a very loud
advocate for CC (including convincing companies to discard CI servers
that weren't working for them that they paid for).
 
I've just grown tired of the inflexible UI (and the dashboard is
useless).
 
We have a set of changes that could move CC forward a bit, but it's
still pretty far behind from what is offered freely.

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.
