The SharpSSH project has, in my opinion been a success.
It translates the standard jsch libraries into .Net CLR speak so that we C# and VB afficionados can play in the heterogeneous space, too. It was an excellent piece of work by the original developer, Tamir Gal, but it seems that he has tired of it. His own blog has not been updated since 2009 and the project itself has been stagnant for even longer.
Matt Wagner has made an attempt to fork and maintain the code but he will only be successful if people follow and contribute to the cause.
I think that the original SharpSSH project has been an immensely successful project, and that Tamir Gal should be commended.
However, we now need to find away to keep the project alive and expand it. My personal preference would be that Tamir rubber-stamps the input from people like Matt and myself, and that we expand the SourceForge project.
Here's hoping!
