What Has Become of BeOpen.com? 10
"I recently became interested in a couple of XEmacs-based open-source development tools, namely Infodock and OO-Browser. A quick search on Freshmeat directed me to a page at BeOpen to download these tools. The BeOpen page was simply the top-level of a Freshmeat-like open-source application directory; when I finally drilled down to the listings for Infodock and OO-Browser they directed me right back to Freshmeat. This despite the fact that BeOpen has some lengthy product pages providing overviews, contract prices, and documentation for these tools. Everything, in fact, except a link to the source tarballs. ftp.beopen.com was unavailable. Eventually I tried emailing them at one of the addresses listed on the product pages. The email bounced.
Does anyone know of other repositories where it can be found? Is there any other group who might take on maintenance of these, software packages?"

I dunno, but there's a metric tonne of Be software under development at Sourceforge [sourceforge.net].
A simple search using "beos" as a keyword will work.

However, all the open source technologies released from BeOpen.com are still available, if somewhat hard to find:
Python 2.0 - www.python.org
InfoDock - www.sourceforge.net/projects/infodock
OO-Browser - www.sourceforge.net/projects/oo-browser
Hyperbole - www.sourceforge.net/project/hyperbole

My response, of course, was that doing so would put me out of a job.
And come to think of it, he promised me a t-shirt for walking him through the ftp thing. Rotten BeOpen.com.
