Whoa! Awesome. I'll check that out. I wasn't aware of it.

http://blueproximity.sourceforge.net/

Although it doesn't seem to be very active as the last update was 2008-02-28, then again, it's not like it's that complex of a
program, maybe there just isn't anything more to add to it...

http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/blueproximity
Similar packages:

* gramofile
* away
* ddrescue
* amora-server
* libclass-spiffy-perl
* gtimer
* bluemon
* devfsd
* worklog
* chiark-really
* hamster-applet

Maybe:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/bluemon might be an alternative but
looks less maintained.

I realize that. That is why I added:
"Maybe:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/bluemon might be an alternative but
looks less maintained."
The "Similar packages:" list is provided for nearly all packages listed
at http://packages.ubuntu.com/ (lower right corner of a package
listing). I don't know how they get the list, perhaps it's word
related/generated. Anyway, the only one in that list that looked to be
related was bluemon & rather than have him try each one, I pointed to
bluemon.

I fully disagree. The innovation would build upon itself and multiply from
each developer adding to the same projects rather than some "great feature
in this one" and "I wish it had that feature from that one".

Which most likely would cause bloat or the whole thing becomes bogged down
in arguments about the way forward, which features to include, etc.
The more variations the better, just pick the one that works for you.

Didn't Red Hat RPM once go for about 3 years with no updates simply
because it was so good at doing what it did that there was no need to
change it? I seem to recall someone telling me that though I cannot
say I've ever personally verified it.
