Adam,

> So why not open source it?

In good time.

It sounds really easy, as though all I have to do is
upload the code and we are done. In reality, there is
more to it. 

An open source license must be chosen, and I must
fully understand, and like, all of the implications of
that license.

The code base has to be cleaned up. There are a number
of aspects to how the project is structured that will
lead to confusion when outside developers start to
look at it. And confusion means that people will be
wasting my time with a lot of unnecessary questions.

Finally, I would like to have more core "stuff" in
place, so that the temptation for others to "fork" the
project is minimized.

But some new developments in my personal life are
adding pressure for me to "open source" it by the end
of the year.

regards,

joe
