I'm not based out of SF (where I hear it's much easier to get noticed) and my network here in Israel is not so strong that a blog post makes any splash, my concern is that just from looking at the landing page even a technical prospects may think this is nothing fancy. By open sourcing it I hope to get the technical crowd to find out its actually a very advanced piece of software.
