Hi Corey,

I perceive this as great news. However, I'm not a big fan of forking
'because I can' unless there's really a lot of pressure to do so. This
is certainly currently not the case, as they are just getting started.

I'd have a look at how the project works, how it gains momentum, what
features it brings and how easy it is to submit patches. It's certainly
easier to support one codebase than two that have once been very similar...

I'm curious and certainly will have a look. Download (from sourceforge)
is running. (currently it's been downloaded 17 times)

The site can be found on http://www.webload.org/, in certain parts it's
a bit unfinished, but well polished and seems to contain a lot of
material. My impression is that this tool is backed by some huge
commercial interest, and one can only hope that they have more success
than the Cyrano folks opensourcing their product. I suppose this is bad
news for the Quotiums and Mercurys of this world...

Cheers,
Olaf
