What Hacker News says
13 sourcesOne project which really needs contributors now is the Mitro Password Manager, it is shutting down due to lack of funding.

In Mitro is Shutting Down on August 31stI've used Mitro ever since I heard about it. It's been really fantastic to use, and the team did an incredible job creating it. It has everything I look for in a password manager, even without any updates or changes since it's been open sourced.
On a different note, even though I'd pay to use it, after following the Google Group pretty closely, it seems like Mitro has been unable to foster any sort of development community in the short time the project has been open source. I would have loved to help, but mitro-core is written in Java[0], a language I have little experience with (I don't count my Data Structures class in college).
I'm curious if the demise of Mitro could be a useful case study of how not to open source a big codebase. It seems that they're shutting it down primarily because of lack of development interest, including lack

of interest from the original creators. It could be naturally assumed that they were "expecting" a community to form around Mitro, and embrace the open sourceness of it, but that obviously didn't happen. I wonder if the founders would have done something different with the way they open sourced Mitro, given what has transpired.

Really great to see more open source solutions in this space, especially those attempting to tackle all platforms.
However, I can't help but feel a bit depressed by the state of even some of the most common projects, like GPG[0].
Another one that I truly fell in love with its simplicity and beauty -- Mitro[1] -- seems to be dying a slow death[2].
I know it shouldn't reflect on this project, and can only wish for its long-term success.

In Master PasswordWe open sourced (GPL3) Mitro (https://www.mitro.co). You can find the code here: https://github.com/mitro-co/mitro.
We have a similar model for reprompting, but you can alter the code as you see fit. Someone was working on a command line client too, but I'm not sure what became of it.
