Glad to hear it ran smoothly for you!
And the website was definitely our fault...
To answer your question - yes and no. We really were planning on releasing everything soon after my original post, however, that was about the same time FIRST released their *working* version of FMS Lite (which has many more features than the original FMS lite) and 254 released Cheezy Arena - we saw most people flock to those alternatives since ours didn't have things like match scheduling. We had previously been doing a lot of work to make O!FMS the community standard but since there are now so many working alternatives, we've only been updating O!FMS for our own use (i.e. custom hardware, etc) and forgot to upload the other version. We have code that runs match schedules and stores match results, however, it's probably not stable enough to release (except maybe as an alpha).
Our state, Georgia, is moving to districts this coming year so we will have our own set of FIRST field electronics for our offseason events. Due to this, I sadly don't see much future development in store for O!FMS (unless some teams really need it or some developers want a fun project to work on!).
We can probably still throw the stable version (the beta you had) up on github and maybe even include the less stable one with databases, match schedules, and such as a separate branch. Let me know if that's something you (or anybody) thinks people would still be interested in!
