Given the fact that this has already been attempted several times, I still
wonder how many times people will retry to invent that round thing called a
wheel...

One man-year of work for free??? Who is going to pay your rent and your
food? Don't you have any for-profit projects?

And, moreover, what's the benefit of that? I can have WO today for free
whenever I want, and as such it probably won't go away anytime soon.

Cool, then you have a clone, and if you are really good, you won't have more
bugs than WO has now, and if you are really good, you will even regain the
functionality that WO already provides today. What a progress!

I imagine WONDER wouldn't mind hosting the sources.


Sure, maybe somebody will even use it ;-)

Then we have one more rebuild of the whole thing besides
CayenneOGOWotonomyWhateverCloneFromWhoeverTriesItThisWeek.
