[Xymon] Xymon project status: let us know

[Bruno Manzoni]

Hi all,

As I am the current maintainer of the Devmon version on GitHub 
(https://github.com/bonomani/devmon), just want to tell you that I am ok 
with your comments on Devmon and give you my own comments:

- Also the Devmon fellow project (which AFAIK shares the main developer 
with Xymon) would need some clarifying words, and merging the efforts 
instead of forking the project would be a better choice for all xymon 
users. (Mario De Chenno)
- With devmon persisting so long, there's absolutely a case (in my mind) 
for closer tying into the core. (Japheth Cleaver)

Just for the history: I forked Devmon in 2016 because the project seemed 
dead (the download version on Sourceforge dates from 2009 and a lot of 
patches were pending). First, I did it for fun (It is a pleasure to work 
on a "clever" software) and just for my personal needs. I have included 
many patches from sourceforge and have improved it in my own way. Some 
of you have encouraged me to do this, others have not. Later I contacted 
the main developer. Unfortunately, this didn't bring anything concrete.

Today, AFAIK no development has been carried out on the Sourceforge 
version for many years, it seems to me that no one is working on it 
anymore, which I find very unfortunate. No one contacted me to tell me 
to stop. As nothing is happening, I decided to go ahead.

This month, I provide an important feature that Devmon lacked: SNMPv3. 
If this can also help Xymon, I would be very happy.

I have no conflict with the old Devmon team (or anyone else) and I am 
open to any collaboration with everyone.

In my side I will be very interested in including Devmon in Xymon and to 
have a better visibility, as this can help Devmon to have more feedback 
to improve it.

Kind regards
Bruno
