There was NEVER any decision to go private.  The fact of the matter is 
that Hisao had not been around.  Bugs were piling up, and no one else had 
any access to the BQ repo.

I am not into "taking over" anything.  There have only been very few (2 
maybe 3) people outside of Hisao that has really contributed anything new 
(minus bug fixes).  It was just time to take it to a much bigger scale.

I respect Hisao's decision to keep it off sourceforge.net.  I can 
understand some people's problems with that developement platform.  I just 
figured shy of re-creating the wheel, it would be best.

Also, it keeps BQ off any named site like NuOnce/Solarspeed/other.  No 
"one" person would of had full control.  Even on the SF site, It was setup 
so that Taco, Michael, myself, and Hisao, if he would have concured, would 
of had full access.

I may have contributed alot, but no where near as much as Hisao.  For 
that, I would truely not be able to sleep at night for stealing someone 
else's work.  Just not my style in life!

Anywho ... minus the bugs, I have some new feature ideas.  One that I have 
given serious thought to, and it would be FREE, and hopefully built into 
the core as there will be lots of changes in the GUI would be SSH-CHROOT.

I had found a project that doesn't require a lot of hacking, and it seems 
very solid.  I played with it, and it works well.

That is on my plate, along with other stuff that needs to be done first. 
It will be a good year, or so I hope!
