Hi,  

It looks like the xmas rush caught me as well.

Like Duncan, my goal is to keep rocketworkbench going as an open source
resource for all.   

However, initially, I didn't see how the entire Biprop igniter project
fits into the ideals of the rocketworkbench project as it is supposed to
be for the development of rocket design software - some aspects of it
does.   See http://rocketworkbench.sourceforge.net/goal.phtml

What I would like to see is the development of a design tools that
integrate well to allow for rapid software based design/prototyping.   

Software based prototyping is worthless unless the results can be
validated by actual testing - so rocketworkbench will need hardware
testing....  Perhaps that's where the goals of projects like the Biprop
igniter fits into things.  ie.  Hardware developed to provide unit
testing for the software :-)  Don't get me wrong - the Biprop igniter
project is good stuff,  I'm just conscious of the goals of the SF
website - An open source software development website - and of the
stated goals of the rocketworkbench project.   

I like the idea of a community based rocketry site, but I don't think
SF.net is the place.  

I hope everyone had a great xmas/new year

Cheers
Geoff
