In 2002, I built an website titled "RROpenSource" which had the ability for
users to contribute Open Source RR projects online. Ready to launch, I
disclosed it only to a few, I believe you included. If I recall correctly,
you mentioned you were working on a similar project and requested I not
release RROpenSource as you were almost ready to launch. So, it never came
to light.

Just wondering if that is still part of your 'carefully planned open source
strategy' ? I suppose that project probably ended up in the 'under 10%'
activity filter as well.
