The Sourceforge exposure gives people like me with an itch to scratch a place to work on a publicly visible branch of ZODB for my two proposals without breaking anything or relying on patch files continually.

Anyone know why AM Kuchling needs to split off a Sourceforge project based on ZODB?
I don't think it's a "split", but AMK is using ZODB internally at his job, and externally with his own projects, so I can see him wanting to have some control over the distribution that he uses.
Other than that, there could be other reasons, we, for example, do not provide a mechanism for community checkin privledges, Sourceforge does. I don't think we have a ZODB specific mailing list, sourceforge offers this.
That being said, I'm pretty sure we've allways kept up with Andrew's patches and suggestions, and we'd be happy to create a mailing list.
Andrew has also extended any developer at DC checkin privledges at the sourceforge project; although I suspect we'll just continue to check into our CVS and he'll "sync" with us that which he wants. I am, in particular, barely not lazy enough to check stuff into branches, much less whole other repositories. ;)
I really liked the ZEO examples, but where's this going?
It's just open source. More power to him in my opinion. He's definatly taking Zope and ZEO to new levels and audiences.
