		+	Paroli is still (08/2009) developed by Mirko, the original developer but only as a hobby. OM2009 will ship it, when released. The future is unclear, we hope that the community will participate in the development in the future.

		+	OM2008 is not maintained any more. Om2009 is planned to be released as stable, maybe still during the year 2009. The future of OM2009 is uncertain as at the moment there is no company behind it.

 Process and structure are like the source code for an organization.  Ideally we will develop processes that give all members opportunity to provide input, and do not become an obstacle to getting work done.  It's important to remember right from the start that our goal is to foster development, not burden it down with bureaucracy!

		+	* provide an organizational structure for projects
		+	* host and maintain community infrastructure such as mailing lists
