http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/ End of Product Lifecycle. Active development and support for MySQL database server versions 3.23, 4.0, and 4.1 has ended. However, for MySQL 4.0 and 4.1, there is still extended support available. For details, see http://www.mysql.com/company/legal/lifecycle/#calendar. According to the MySQL Lifecycle Policy (see http://www.mysql.com/company/legal/lifecycle/#policy), only Security and Severity Level 1 issues will still be fixed for MySQL 4.0 and 4.1. Please consider upgrading to a recent version (MySQL 5.0 or 5.1). The nerve of them not investing time and money in a 3 year old product to help you support your commercial clients and "wasting" time and money on improving it!

My Advice Peter is to have a look at the jump start guide, see if the development process of Farcry (5 as if you are starting out its the best place to begin) suits the way you would like to develop and make your judgement based on that. There is a contributor guide on the way in the near future.
