If you want to update it and put it on sourceforge, for example, that would be fine with me. > 3.

A number of companies started with Ballista and then morphed it to internal (proprietary) tools I believe. I don't know of anyone providing a publicly available porting of it. I appreciate your interest. Ballista is not in our current scope of work and we don't have resources to maintain/support it.
