Whoa! It's been a while since I've been to OpenNMS's site. Nice redesign. Much better than the wiki they used to use. Kind of a bummer that they went so commercial though on the .com side. So now we likely know where the $ and impetus came for the new site. Hope it isn't the beginning of the end of a truly open OpenNMS. In my experience, however, in such cases it isn't too long before 1) you start seeing major features being withheld from the "free" version, and/or 2) the "free" version becomes the alpha testing branch, and/or 3) "refactor" and license change at some major rev level. That said, OpenNMS isn't doing anything special that any other mature FOSS project hasn't figured out - it just took them many, many more years to get there than most so I'm not sure they'd be the best role model in that department. -- Regards-- Ken Gunderson _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
