Some people care, you know, about their friend's mastery and progression of some craft. Just because it may not be interesting to a random stranger (or it may be, if the story about the process is interesting and well written) does not mean it's not interesting to anyone.

Re: the open source, you know how often open source projects die because the maintainers get bored or busy or there's disagreement about the direction of the project? A fuckload. Having multiple open source projects that do the same thing - and let's be clear, nothing complex is ever exactly the same - is healthy. It means if they diverge in the future that you may prefer project A and detest the changes made in project B. If project B was the only one to exist, you'd be angry.
