Even if I'm one of those mystique Icinga guys, I agree with you. It was a hard decision to do, what we are doing. It's not to commit an outrage to Ethan - just an very encouraged try to bring some active development back to a great monitoring tool.

IMO, if Ethan would be more open to other contributors, a fork wouldn't be necessary. But there were so many tries to lead him helping hands. He never gives back a direct "No" or s.th. similar - but also he never took those hands.

This is one big goal for icinga. We want to be scalable instead of a single point of waiting / frustrating.

I'm not angry with Ethan, but I see Nagios to be dying if it goes forward in the same manner.

I think git should be good for this? I hope so, I realy don't want to loose all my commits on icinga.

I know what you mean. I feel very sorry that the current code is not accessible to the public right to the announcement day. It's a single fact, that the first code publishing will be just a renamed nagios, a "update-check-as-opt-in", a new 'configure', design and a included ndoutils/idoutils code. the actual code base is not compileable but it will be much nicer within the next days. I would hate the thought to publish non workable 'dirty' code.

As I mentioned before. Code base will be opened in the next days as a pre-alpha, mega-super-testing phase ;) No, it's not only a political stunt to get Ethan to wake up again.

We defined the nagios core components, like scheduling, alerting, and so on as good enough to kept untouched. So object and api handling should be fully compatible to nagios. The next steps should be a open development of the blocking ndoutils and better db abstraction. Of course we want to catch up the latest nagios related patches, test them and apply them upstream - a thing we are all missing for the moment, don't we?
