Re: Proxies, opensource and the general market: what's wrong with us?

the fact that you need to direct me to use a CVS snapshot because all the 
tarballs are too old is a realy good indicator of the problem.

I looked at openfwtk when it was first announced, and at that time it 
wasn't ready to replace all the parts of fwtk that I use, so I didn't move 
to it. i've checked back once in a while, but without seeing new releases 
it hasn't seemed like there was anything new to test.

I would suggest moving to git or similar DVCS so that you can create a 
fork for developing each new feature and then as each one gets done, merge 
it in to the main trunk rather than having to either keep development out 
of the main repository, or have each snapshot get a fairly random state of 
functionality between all the development.
