@jwildeboer While I agree with the spirit of this post, from my recollection it wasn't all roses:

- The source code repository was CVS, or SVN if you were lucky. Otherwise it was just versioned tarballs.
- The web page was last updated five years ago, and the download links were to an FTP server that no longer resolved.
- The most recent post on the announce list was three years ago, and the users list was full of drug marketing spam and a few unanswered threads from actual users.
