Quoting Mike Heins <mike@perusion.com>:

> There are thousands of people using Interchange or Minivend, and
> hundreds that rely on it for mission-critical needs. In order to
> support this community, the Interchange core developers have founded
> the "Interchange Development Group" (ICDEVGROUP) which defines itself
> as follows:
> 
> "The Interchange Development Group (ICDEVGROUP) is a worldwide network
> of developers dedicated to fostering the evolution of Interchange, a
> highly professional Perl-based web application server in continuous
> development since 1995."
> 
> The ICDEVGROUP states:
> - Interchange lives and will live for quite some time to come.
> - All core developers remain committed to the development
>   of Interchange now and in the future.
> - The Interchange product is safe from obstructions due to
>   the GPL.
> 
> All decisions concerning Interchange will be made by the ICDEVGROUP
> democratically in informal votes. The ICDEVGROUP selected Stefan
> Hornburg, also known as Racke, as its first captain. The captain is
> responsible for mediating disputes between members and for shepherding
> Interchange through its major release cycles.
> 
> The ICDEVGROUP is an open organization and new members will join as new
> core developers did in the past just by doing enough useful things for
> Interchange development.
> 
> The address of the Interchange Developer's site is now:
> 
>   http://www.icdevgroup.org/
> 
> The development of Interchange goes on just as before, with numerous
> fixes and improvements in the stable version and innovations in the
> unstable version. Examples for the latter are enhancements which
> position Interchange more as a general-purpose web application server
> and adding even more flexibility to its database layers.
> Additionally, the ICDEVGROUP will investigate ways to speed up the
> Interchange i18n project.
> 
> With best regards, your members of the Interchange Development Group.

>  left Red Hat because my division was disbanded. I have formed with Greg
>  Hanson a new company to focus on Interchange consulting for business.
> 
>  While this announcement is partly triggered by this move, it describes
>  how we have really been developing Interchange for the past year.
> 
>  I am very excited about this, and I think of it as a very
>  positive development for Interchange. Interchange will only
>  get better as a result.
