Donald,
I believe what you are doing is extremely important.  I think the Pick type systems are by far the most productive in terms
of the programmer's time and effort.
I do not remember the time line but I think rocket has posted on their website an end of support schedule for Open QM.  SD
and open source software provides a way forward.  It would also be good to have a terminal emulator or IDE similar to Accuterm.

Thank you!  Please keep me posted.

The ACCOUNTS file structure has been changed in this version and breaks
compatibility with prior versions as far as retaining accounts between
installs. Advanced users can probably figure out what to do to move
account contents. We will be more careful about version incompatibilities
after we release 1.0.0.
-
Several significant improvements in this version, especially in the admin
commands CREATE.ACCOUNT and MODIFY.ACCOUNT. For information, review the
change log.

Also the first pull request by a third developer. Thank you to nextjob and
d-chou for their contributions to this release.

At this point we believe we have built on prior work by others and have
created a core open source, multi-value database which encompasses most of
what we originally intended: small core system without some seldom used
legacy features, increased security for remote connectivity, review of
legacy code and correction of problems found , embedded python, return of
some kind of data encryption and a system where the database is an
extension of the underlying operating system. It also compiles and runs on
the Raspberry Pi 5 and the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
 
We have reached a fork in the road We are tentatively planning for two
point releases this year and then a release of version 1.0 at the end of
this year. If we proceed, we are planning to improve documentation and the
website and to continue the work of finding existing issues and areas that
can be improved. We would like to hear suggestions from interested parties
as to what else they would like to see in the system.
 
Honestly, is this effort worth it? Is there really any interest in a
currently maintained and developed open source multi-value database? Or is
it time to admit that there is no interest and our time would be better
spent in other endeavors? If there is little interest we may continue this
hobby as an intellectual exercise, at a slower pace, purely for our own
enjoyment -- or just drop the project. If others are interested and find
SD to be of value, we will be motivated to be more engaged.

I would love to work with it. Is there a website for it? How can others
get involved?

I think it is worth it, especially the way Rocket is treating commercial QM.
great work you guys.
