In hopes to revive the Metadot open source project, we have opened this sourceforge project under the name OpenMetadot.

I have put the current version of metadot both in tarball format here, and in CVS. I am now looking for other developers who use metadot who would be willing to post changes to the CVS so we can get started on a metadot4.1
