I don't see a problem, I see a logical conclusion to a sequence of events. A bunch of Twitter attention whores easily raise a large sum of money for yet another useless security audit, whereas the apparently lone developer doesn't see a penny of that sum, and probably never saw a fraction of that sum during the whole history of the project. The developer is pissed, decides that dealing with the unwanted attention is not worth his time, and closes the project. > Who is going to takeover TrueCrypt project seriously should be an entity > (foundation, consortium, coalition, etc) of multiple players coming from > a different environments from the civil society. The project was developing well when it was a one-man team. Did you try to contact the guy and offer him at least a similar amount of funding to what was gathered for an audit? > I know also about some company willing to provide development effort for > such a public public interests project, to keep it maintained in the future. -- Maxim Kammerer Liberté Linux: http://dee.su/liberte -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
