I would have to agree with you. Many of the Turbopower groups are dead. Just because something is open sourced, doesn't mean that the users are going to put in the time to support it. Firebird OTOH seems to have generated enough interest and dedication to thrive in the open source environment.

My experience with opensource is mixed. I use two opensource products, Firebird db and OnGuard. Firebird is an excellent product with excellent support via one of these yahoo groups. I can almost guarantee an answer to any question i have within a day. OnGuard however, does appear to have 'died' or at least be terminally ill! Its forum http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=241892 has only one post in 2005!
