Open Source projects will fail without a critical mass of interested
(and capable!) developers to share the burden. I don't think anyone is
being critical, Paul, I think there is a general (albeit false) sense
that OSS is some sort of panacea for any domain. I'm sure John Anderson
would agree about NewtSync. Open Sourcing some code doesn't generate
any benefit when it's not taken up by people who can further it.
Personally, I think you (and all the developers who keep the Newt
going) rock, and I for one don't expect to see one line of code.
