Looks like the pressure from the Cooee open source split has already resulted in some action. After many, many months of user grousing, Tod Liebeck of NextApp has just announced the launch of a bug tracker for Echo2. It's Mantis (not my favorite bug tracker -- personally I prefer JIRA), which is better than nothing.

I've thought for a while now that Echo2 wasn't really working as an Open Source project; I even have a couple of posts laying out some of the reasons that Echo2 was in danger of losing out to other, inferior frameworks all for a lack of organization and activity. Ultimately I didn't post them because I didn't want to undercut what I considered to be an otherwise excellent framework. But it's not surprising that someone else has felt the same way and taken action to rectify the situation.
