Hello together, We brought some discussion into that mailing-list and even though this wasn't our main goal, it is a good thing. I've read an article by Matt Asay from cnet and his thoughts are explaining the reasons to fork Nagios better then anything else i can write in the moment: "While it's too early to tell whether the fork will succeed, the action already demonstrates both the health and disease of the Nagios community. Health, because a fork or spin-off of the original project, demonstrates that there is an active community of users and developers that cares enough about the project to ensure it's done "right" (i.e., according to their preferences). Disease, because clearly the core Nagios developers weren't serving the broad Nagios community well enough."

I'm sure it'll all work out alright in the end somehow though." Hope i see you soon to talk about that personaly. That's it for now Bernd Erk
