A bit flowery (especially at the end) but what about this? I really want to start attracting more outsiders into Gump. I know compilation resources are tight, but my gut tells me that the more project metadata we gather, the greater service we can offer to the community (whether we build all the projects, or not.) I think Gump needs to move to be more of a "OSS social network navigator" than it has ever been.

Gump metadata is (almost daily) updated by the community, reflecting the continual changes to the social network of OSS projects. Gump has reached new projects from Apache Incubator, Sourceforge, Codehaus, and others. Gump processes almost 500 projects, from roughly 200 modules. For more information, visit the Jakarta Gump website [1]. Python Gump has undergone significant objectification, and is once again live and generating it's communications via HTML (using Forrest) [2] and RSS [3]. RSS feeds are now available per workspace (for failures) or on a per module/project basis. Both Traditional and Python Gump are exercising the ASF Subversion repository [5], and have abilities to checkout/update projects from Subversion. The Site/Documentation has been converted to Forrest xdocs, and will soon go live on the public site. The documentation begins to reflect the subtle differences between Traditional Gump and Python Gump. The Gump team are looking for assistance with more remote Gumps, personal Gumps, cascaded Gumps, Gump GUI/tools development (in Python), and usage feedback. If you have interests in the 'fluid dynamics' of the OSS map, Gump is the place for you. [6] Have you Gumped your software today?
