Mindquarry is Dead; Long Live Mindquarry

Mark Twain reportedly once said “Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.”

Mindquarry, an open source collaboration platform, has announced that they will stop supporting the commercial versions of their products, effective October 1st: “Mindquarry’s commercial offerings end.”

However, as an open source platform, the decision to stop offering commercial products doesn’t mean the project has to end.

Lars Trieloff quickly noted:

. . . this is not the end of Mindquarry as an open source project. As long as there is a community that cares for Mindquarry I will continue to invest my time in Mindquarry.

It will be interesting to see how the community around the project reacts - whether community activity waxes or wanes as a result of the decision to stop offering commercial versions.
