While I ultimately agree with you guys, let's not be too harsh.  Jam
has been really active around SM lately and has put out a lot of
functional code, even if it isn't immediately adopted.  I think the
proliferation of non-official SM-related sites should be seen as a
tribute to SM's popularity and should be taken as high praise.
