In the last few months, there has been quite a bit of uncertainty surrounding yellowTAB, Magnussoft, and the future of ZETA development. Thom Holwerda has written up a good summary in his recent editorial over on OSNews, it helps simplify the rather convoluted sequence of events. And more recently, Thom posted an interview with Rene Weinert of Magnussoft who clarifies a few points related to the current status of ZETA. Probably the most significant detail mentioned in the interview is that Magnussoft only owns the distribution rights for ZETA – development will continue to be done by a separate team that includes (or is, presumably, lead by) Bernd Korz.

Speaking of Bernd, his blog has a new post with a few details on the team that will be handling ZETA’s development in the future. The post mentions that the various yellowTAB domain names will be going offline in the near future, but it’s pretty light on specifics overall. At this point, we still don’t know (for example) what company will employ the development team or how many of the existing yellowTAB developers will be retained. We’ll post more details as they become available.
