Jason, Geoff and "community", please allow me to make some totally
non-technical comments about this.

I guess Geoff is the only other person (beside Jason) with enough
knowledge and understanding of IBO source code, able to alter and
improve it in the correct way.

I think IBO (the product) and all of us (the users/developers) will
benefit if Jason and Geoff can work together improving IBO. I really
hope both of them can get an agreement in a way that the efforts of
Geoff will not get lost or end up only in his "private branch" of IBO,
so the product will become more active and evolve faster.
