I would like to chime in on that. Recently I had to upgrade one of our instances of mon - we have several, each which particular monitors - and I downloaded the latest and the greatest, 0.99-2 To my dismay there where a whole bunch simple, yet significant, patches, for example by Ed Ravin, posted to this mailinglist, between now and more than a year ago, not yet applied to 0.99-2. Upon inspection it turns out 0.99-2 dates back from 8 sep 2001. And no new version has been released since. That is more than one and a half years! With all due respect, I love mon, I use it extensively, there is no real alternative for my purposes, but a tool needs to be updated, at the very least with trivial patches, and bugfixes in manpages etc, to stay "alive". Can it be really expected from me to go back in the mailinglist archives for that long a period and apply all the relevant patches? Why not put mon on sourceforge? Give some well respected posters in this mailinglist admin status? At least it would give us, the users, the ability to extract the current CVS version.
