I saw mention of this on Twitter the other day and thought it was a typo. Then I saw Chris's blog post just now. Blue Dragon - not OpenBD, but the New Atlanta product - still exists? And is in development?

I don't have much to say about it other than bringing it to other people's attention. I'm really surprised BD.NET is still seeing development because - as far as I understood it - the project had kinda... well... died. I tried to contact New Atlanta a year or so ago to see what the story was, but I never got a reply.
Anyway, there you go, BD.NET seems to be getting ready to rise from the ashes. FWIW.
