Mohan, Thanks for the explanation.
My .02: It would probably be more 'standard' to put the hpitest software in a separate project, with references both ways to show that openhpi is compliant. That allows some other software to use hpitest to claim compliance also, and it makes administration of hpitest simpler. Replacing/updating saftest with hpitest software seems like it would make a lot of sense, given the history. However, it would be nice if the name of the project contained 'hpi' so that new people could find it more easily. I think it is now possible to rename sourceforge projects (saftest->hpitest). Is that true?

SAForum funded an effort to develop compliance tests for HPI. The tests themselves are located in the saforum.org website. Now SAForum decided to place it in the opensource. It is called hpitest. This is under active development for a long time now. saf-test and hpitest accomplish the same thing and they had few common authors too. But saf-test has been dormant for three years or more now (except a small bug fix). They differ in directory structure and the way tests are created/executed. saf-test covered B.01 and part of B.02 specification, while hpitest covers B.01, B.02 and B.03 (without FUMI and DIMI). This brings an interesting question. If hpitest is not placed insid OpenHPI, is it ok to place it in saf-test? hpitest could be parallel to saf-test and we could change the front page to say hpitest is the new active version. This will avoid the confusion of why there are two different projects accomplishing the same thing. Thoughts?
