Article is written like a review. It contains no sources and all of the information appears to be original research or taken from the project page on SourceForge. I had initially reviewed this article when it was created. At the time, I had noted a few issues on its talk page that I felt needed addressed primarily of which was proving that the topic is notable.
After 3 years, a Google search still turns up almost nothing on the project beyond this Wikipedia page and its page on Sourceforge. I am fairly sure that it does not meet the notability requirements.
