Mule is also an open source project and that had more of a relevance when Camel started and was a Mule competitor. That page can go away too.
As James brilliantly stated: let's think of the Camel user's needs and address them. For needs that go beyond a developer's need to understand and use Camel, such as getting support or extra tools, the Camel community can add subtle hints (on the Support page as mentioned), just because we're nice guys, but going beyond that is wrong. That's not our mission/role. It may be your role as individuals/employees. Blog about it!
