Should there be a competition to Ximian. Maybe using red-carpet and another channel. So far red carpet is open and channels are xml codeable. Some Ximian products link to web services. If yes, then please fade away yourself.
Balsa is a good example of software that's pushed aside.
Ximian is FREE software. You could even fork the whole damn Ximian project and include this balsa package. Balsa is not the software, a newbie really needs. And if you're not a newbie, you should feel ashamed, that you can't install a custom software package. This is so sad, it doesn't matter what they do, some dumbasses will ever bitch about Ximian and Eazel.
