This is probably true, but the way it was approached, it appears to be a 
surprise, if not sinister.  If your intention is to provide excellent 
documentation and get some of the great ideas out of your head and onto 
a website that you and others have control over, great.  Promote the 
website as a documentation site and leave the downloads on the 
hylafax.org site.  If you know that a particular nightly cvs release is 
fairly stable and adds some neat new feature or fixes a specific bug, 
make a link to it from the sf site to the archive on hylfax.org's ftp 
site.  Perhaps if you clearly state that the sf site is a mirror, then 
it would be OK to have releases there, but also state the formal 
releases are on the hylafax.org site (or something like that). 

Also see no point in you having a bug tracker if you're not forking the 
code.  I would think if anything this would slow down development.

It will fragment and or confuse new users.  Which list should I belong 
to?  Where will my questions get answered?  I for one would not want to 
be (and probably won't be) on both lists.  It's too much for me to have 
to filter messages from to different mailing lists.  Additionally, the 
website looks so similar, it would confuse new users.  Am I in the right 
place?

It's apparent that you have a wealth of knowledge related to fax 
protocols, fax technology and hylafax.  For now, I'll remain on this 
list, mostly because I only need to see major releases.  I do hope that 
calmer minds prevail.
