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.
