We would like OForge to be a community driven project, and not just an 
Optaros project.  I'd like to make it clear that having outside 
contributers is one of the main goals of a doing public release.  We 
don't want to fork anything, but to be active members of the community. 
  The work we put into each component of OForge should be usable by 
projects outside of OForge's scope.

As far as one blessed trac distribution, I don't like the idea.  As has 
been mentioned many times, users have different needs.  OForge, as it 
currently stands, serves our needs.  That of a consulting company with 
many clients.  We would expect that our users/contributers would have 
similar needs.  It could be that OForge fulfills the needs of other 
types of users, that we haven't even considered.  That would be great, 
but we don't expect OForge to be the end all, be all of Trac 
distributions.  I think that there is room in our community for multiple 
trac distributions that suit different needs.
