I have watched this project on and off for a few years and recently came back to take a look and see it is being discontinued.

Does anyone know the status if there are any transfer plans?

I would hate to see such a great project as this be discontinued.

I looked around the forum here, but did not find much in the way of an answer, so thought I would ask. If there is a post already please inform me.

Thanks

Arne,

Yes, I am familiar with SCADABR, but...... just looking for something a little more English.

I appreciate the response.

Arne,

Thanks, I did go ahead and load SCADABR. Very nice installer. They also have more data sources. I do have issues here and there, but I am not planning on using this for anything other then playing around, or maybe some home automation. It is a great little test environment for devices though. The reason for the post is to see what the plans were for this Open Source Project. I would hate to see it discontinued before it got to the point of being great. It has come a long way and actually seems useful at this point, hence my worry it will be ditched.

What I like most is that you can install it and have devices communicating in 15 min or less. I literally did that a few years ago when I fist came across this software. Never really paid it much mind since then because we use long time validated SCADA Systems. However, checked it out a few weeks ago and saw it was being discontinued.

It would be great if someone could translate the Portugese docs and have an English support group for SCADABR. I guess the demand is just not there. It seems like Google translator would be able to help on this.

Thanks again for the response.

it is unfortunate the scadaBR website gives no credit to matt or serotonin. "The ScadaBR was born in MCA Systems in Florianópolis / SC"

I disagree, their Main Logo right at the top left, says "Powered by Serotonin" and there is references to Serotonin all throughout the code. I greatly appreciate what Matt has created and it is really awesome. I wish him the best in his endeavors, but this project is too important to be dropped and I am glad that SCADABR is there to push it forward. I have done some studying of the SCADABR product and will eventually release some of my findings to add some participation that helps Open Source projects move forward. They have significant plans for new releases and this is good for all of us.

I look forward to seeing this progress.

I am also glad that someone has picked up the torch, and indeed I was looking at scadaBR as an upgrade path from mango.

we must be looking at different logos: http://www.scadabr.com.br/
From browsing their site I expected more credit assigned where credit is due, even if the copyright notices in the code are left intact

Yes we're not talking about the same logo. This is the Logo they use when you install SCADABR.

Well this is what you get when I do not read every word, your right! No credit on the main page of the website. The installed product is quite different.
