What kind of future for Servoy Stuff?

Yes, that’s the question I’m asking myself right now.
Although this blog will still be relevant, as the expression of personal ideas and opinions about Servoy/Java development and the Servoy microcosm, I’m still undecided about what to do with the rest of the site.
Now that ServoyForge is out and is so much more adapted to host and maintain my plugins/beans and other various Open Source projects, with all the tools available there (svn repository with anonymous access and commiters access, extended issue tracking, version management and roadmap, wiki, file downloads, forums, user managements, etc.), there’s not much justification for keeping this site up.
In any case, I will have to get rid of all the redundant information, make sure that people are properly redirected to the ServoyForge relevant projects, but this means that most of the content of Servoy Stuff is going to be deleted.
It’s a bit of a shame since this site has been very successful… Looking at the stats today, I see that more than 14 months after launch, there has been 13303 visits and 26593 downloads since I started tracking them in July 2009: the tutorials being the most successful, followed by the BrowserSuite and the VelocityReport of course…
Anyway, I guess that apart from this blog, and maybe the FAQ (that needs updating, really), there’s not much to keep.
So, unless you have some very good ideas of content that you would like to find here, a new (stripped) version of the site will be available soon, with the blog being the primary content this time, and all the rest freely available from ServoyForge.
Still hope to see you around!
