I finally got around to open-sourcing SysStats. Its loaded into subversion up at SourceForge. Anyone interested in officially tinkering with it let me know. Obviously anyone can try and build it if you just download the source but you will probably need some information about what libraries the build depends on which I'll only get around to providing if at least one other person shows interest in joining the development team.

wow, interesting move. i'm curious: do you feel you've gone as far as you can and are looking for fresh ideas? or is it just time to let your chickling fly free? will you remain the final point-of-authority? or is it really 'do whatever you want'? i mean really: you ARE sysstats! (btw, did you ever wind up in so cal?)

I've been wanting to OpenSource it for some time but I've only just goten around to doing it. There's a bunch of things I would like to see done to it and I'll list those up on SourceForge shortly, but its not likely I will get the time for anything other than minor enhacements and/or bug fixes.

I am administrator of the project on SourceForge so I get to say who gets to submit code directly to the subversion repository and I get to control the actual releases (at least on SourceForge). However the code is open source now with a pretty lenient license (LGPL) so anyone could take it and run if they wanted to.

BTW, yes I made it to so cal, but now I'm back in Mass.

Hi judje!

I'm kind of interested in development: I'd like to fix the bug which prevents SysStats from running on my PC. Also I have some more thoughts on COM registration issues.

My problem now is that I can't build it under VS2005. Any instructions, libraries input are welcome.

Well, some idea of the error youre getting would help. There are several libraries it uses but as far as I remember the only non-MS one is WTL. Google will take you to the download for that.
