Roland, since I don't (yet) have a subscription to LWN (I know, I know!), I haven't seen what they wrote. I _do_ know what I sent in to LWN's letters column, and I did pretty clearly state (I think) that Debian-SF and GForge are aiming towards merger. I _didn't_ in any way claim GForge is the only Free clone, and I _did_ attempt to list (but not denigrate) the numerous forks that people have worked so hard to keep moving forward. I was of course trying to be brief (this being a letters column, not an article), and summarise information from diverse sources before LWN's then-pending publication deadline, in a hurry. I _hope_ my comments were generally inaccurate, and tried to ensure that. If I've inadvertantly given offence nonetheless, my apologies, as I was trying carefully to avoid giving any.
I'm actually just finishing up an interview with Tim & explicity asked him to elaborate on how debian-sf has helped since you brought it to my attention, Roland.
Again, I don't feel my writing was inaccurate even though I wasn't cheerleading for debian-sf, but for Tim in these pieces.
Hi Rick & address@hidden Here's what I was writing:http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/2363 (link within a bit more stuff on OSDir.com that I wrote about it) & a teazer of the interview to come: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/2392
