email from ARSDigita. Wonder what effect it will have on the forum.

As you may have heard, Red Hat recently purchased assets and technologies from ArsDigita, and hired a number of ArsDigita personnel. As a user of these technologies, you may have some questions about the transaction and what it may mean to you.

Most importantly, we at Red Hat, including our new colleagues from ArsDigita, are committed to the continued success of the ArsDigita Community System (ACS) and its users. As a member of the Red Hat executive team, I own the commitment personally and on behalf of our company.

The former ArsDigita folks who joined Red Hat comprise a team with which I will work closely to ensure that existing customers realize the business and technology benefits of ACS and related technologies, such as the ArsDigita Content Management System (CMS). Our commitment also extends to assuring that the global strength of Red Hat as an open source solutions provider accelerates the development and adoption of ACS, CMS and new technologies.

Additional information about the transaction and our future can be found at:

So far, despite all the speculation, none of the events affecting ArsDigita have had much of an impact on the Greenspun services. I wouldn't expect anything from this unless I see it from Phil himself.
