I think what Don's getting at is that actions speak louder than
words. Let's say you were buying out WordPerfect, and
continuing development on it. Would you buy the company, and
lay off all the developers? That's rather silly, because you're
getting rid of the very people who know the intricacies of the
code.
I think one thing to look for when you get involved in an open-
source software project is the strength of vitality of the
community behind it. OpenACS does really well in that regard,
and that's one of my main reasons for being involved in it. It's
one of the strongest internet-based groups I've seen.
