I appreciate Chris' reasons for re-launching the project, the restriction involved in hosting on Canonical data centre servers can be limiting for a small project that has little technically in common with the distro (i.e. doesn't use bzr or our build systems). This will certainly not affect gutsy and will have little impact on future Ubuntu releases. The WinFOSS browser is based on the OpenCD code, but could be re-based from the OpenDisc if compelling features are developed there. It's all open source :) Contributions are welcome on the Windows side of the Live CD, both in maintaining the application collection and browser and the new and exciting Wubi installer http://wubi-installer.org/ I wish Chris the best of luck managing the new project!
