ExOffice morphed into Intalio more like. New name. Old stuff.

Exactly.

You're talking about Castor, right?

Entire jBoss content was updated less than a month ago. News page is
updated weekly. We've been too busy doing things to update the site,
hopefully that will improve.

I'm on some of the ExoLab mailing lists. I think we have different
notions of "active".

When I say "active" I would mean "actively discussing key topics related
to the project", and not just "politely answering user questions".

Quite. Because of the insane amount of development being done on the
actual software. Once things cool down (not quite yet) we will attend to
these matters (and when I say "we" I don't mean "I" or even "Telkel". I
mean We.)

Not quite sure what you're talking about here. I need to look into that.

Absolutely. Wouldn't want it any other way ;-) Chaos is the food upon
which creativity feasts :-)
