Can you give me one example where ?the community? severely and in
collaboration has expanded and improved an existing Open Source project on
IBM I?

Are you just looking for a commercial? Your own powerExt and Renaissance both expand on CGIDEV2 - but it is not Open Source.

The question is irrelevant. This _was_ IBM's intention. Whether anybody does it or not cannot change the intent. I hope it will happen - but many folks seem happier to reinvent new wheels than to actually collaborate on enhancing a project.

But there are a few examples: jt400 seems to work. WSDL2RPG enhances HTTPAPI. Several people have added to Giovanni's tools - etc. etc. Not what I'd hope to see but it is happening slowly.
