It was an attempt to increase collaboration between individuals/companies, a vendor neutral forum for exchange of ideas, etc. Its failure is telling (very limited interest from IT management folks from the field). Overwhelming majority of IT management related discussions happen in vendor/project mailing lists and forums. monitoringforge.org is more like vertical freshmeat.net/sourceforge, a directory of open source projects in monitoring area. You don't have to host the project there. Will it change the IT management world? highly doubt it. Will it survive? I'd say it has a better change to survive than OMC. The fact that Groundwork is supporting may even be a positive. A governance system that would ensure its independence and survival would indeed go a long way to increase its chances.
