Online resource Jazz has a long lifespan

CSY set up HP’s Jazz Web server to serve the software needs of the 3000 community, and signs point to a long life for the site (jazz.external.hp.com). The caretaker for HP’s freeware site said it’s too soon to speculate on what might happen to all those free bits once HP exits the 3000 community. Speaking for himself, Mark Bixby said “In terms of Jazz, five years is a long time in the future, and there are many other more important MPE things to worry about between now and then. Who knows — if OpenMPE should come to pass, I imagine there would eventually be a jazz.openmpe.org or jazz.openmpe.com. Or maybe there will be a jazz.bixby.org.”
