I've always felt that Orca targets sysadmin people more than  
developers so doesn't see as many contributions as compared to an open- 
source package that targets developers.

Orca is GPL and I do take patches for it.  So there's nothing stopping  
people from contributing.

It could be a good idea to move it to github so that people can make  
use of github's forking model that makes it easier for people to work  
on their copy of the code and I can pull those changes into my version  
of Orca for official releases.

I'm always looking for people who want to get involved and contribute  
code.  I've given commit access to a few people to make it better.  So  
the more the merrier.
