Do you even know what Outercurve does and who in the open source community is working with it? Look at who the project mentors are. Do you know that it will accept any license? Have you read its bylaws? That it provides resources for open source projects from *any* source? Ignorance isn't a virtue.
It was not just homosexual pedophiles - young girls were abused as well.
There church is also a fault: It groomed young men to become priests at an early age, and many never went experienced normal sexuality. The theory goes that psychologically, they remained children themselves.
And let's not forget their knowing disregard of it all. It was complicit.
You may have this deficit in your knowledge of AOL: They have 109.7 milllion uniques per month. This places AOL second only to Yahoo, which had 118 million uniques as of March 2005.
With this audience they do have an opportunity to build a strong Web presence provided they do not screw it up.
If you follow the progress of their betas you will notice that they arel istening. The latest example being the removal of AOL browser from AIM 5.9 as a forced install to replace the faceless AIM Today Window.
Perception is just that. Look at what they are doing - especially with Search and Triton. SingingFish.com is pretty cool and Triton will be an 'open' platform to build on AIM.
However, I would agree that their legecy is being a horrid ISP with a bloated client.
