Additionally, recently a startup in Vienna launched that's doing basically the same as OpenGuides (though not so open..): http://tupalo.com/
As they have money, they do a much better job than a few volunteers.
While I'm on this thread, I just wanted to respond to this. I don't think it's necessarily true that people with money will do a better job than a few volunteers.
Uhm, I guess that's not what I wanted to say, at least not in the general sense. But still, it depends on the number of volunteers and the involved money. In Vienna's case, that's one or two people with no time vs. an "aggressive" startup.
But in general, I don't think domm's assertion is true.
Well, I miss-phrased my assertion. What I meant was "Usually a group of people who get paid for their job do better then one or two volunteers with no significant time (actually, no time at all...) to spend on the project."
But still, too bad that it didn't work out for Vienna, and it definitly wasn't the fault of the software...
