Gen is the one of the best productivity tools I've used. It allows you to perform generative programming in a simple, wizard-driven environment, and integrates well with Visual C++ 6. It was the brainchild of Chris Sells, and developed by Chris and his team at DevelopMentor. It's an absolutely super product that I was thrilled to beta test (for version 1.5), and I regularly use it to lighten my C++ coding load.
Here is the e-mail message from DevelopMentor CTO Stu Holloway:
Hi faithful Gen users,
I apologize for not answering this thread sooner. As you know, Gen has been in limbo since DevelopMentor discontinued active development.
Well, limbo no more. We have decided that the best thing for our user base would be to open source Gen. Of course, open source means different things to different people, so now we are taking a pause to sort out both the open source terms and where the product will be hosted.
Expect a more detailed announcement soon.
Thanks,
Stuart Halloway

Eric Raymond: Mirror, Mirror -- why Americans Don't Understand the Threat of Jihadism:
In What al-Qaeda Wants and the first essay in this series, The Mirage of Moderate Islam, I have described Islam as a warlike and bloody religion subject to periodic fits of violent fundamentalist revival. I have analyzed the roots of Islamic terror in the Koranic duty of jihad, and elucidated Osama bin Laden's goal as nothing less than the destruction of the West and the establishment of a global Islamic theocracy.
I have further explained why it is difficult for anyone living within the Islamic worldview to reject or argue against these goals. Jihadism -- the belief that Muslims have not merely the right but the duty to smite the infidel and propagate the Faith by force -- proceeds direct from the Koran and is accepted as a core religious duty by almost all Muslims.
These are simple truths, readily discernable from reading the words of the Koran, the study of even an outline of Islamic history, and the propaganda of Osama bin Laden himself. Yet they are truths that almost no one in the West is speaking in public, in plain language. In this essay, I will examine the reasons Americans are not yet ideologically prepared to fight the war against terror as it must be fought if we are to win.
First, the U.S. government is telling a Big Lie for diplomatic reasons
