Hello, Thanks Eric, this is valuable feedback! We've included FlumeBase in our little ESP matrix here: http://blog.sematext.com/2011/09/26/event-stream-processor-matrix/
Now that I look ed FlumeBase on Github, it looks pretty "dead" - no commits in 3-4 months, 0 pull requests, just 1 issue... Does anyone know is Aaron Kimball is still working on it?
