Ok. That still doesn't provide any verifiable claims as to the software's notability for inclusion in an encyclopedia. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 20:21, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

The general guideline for notability seems to be for independent reviews - google shows about the expected number of comments, given that. But there are very few professional-quality reviews of any sort in this area (no money involved, no reason for anyone to promote it ;-). Most are mailing-list comments. (The same criticism can be applied to most of the programs described in Wikipedia, after discarding self-published sources ;-). Tedickey (talk) 20:31, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
