joshki: I will definitely be in touch and will be putting the source on GitHub soon. I may message you beforehand to work out any potential changes that may be needed, and would ultimately like to put the OSX source on GitHub as well.
gateway: CGRemote will provide monitoring remote miners. It will allow you to monitor miners regardless of whether or not CGWatcher is running on them.
The two applications have different purposes. You can think of CGWatcher as a babysitter for the miner. It runs on the same computer as the miner and watches for problems. If it detects problems, it attempts to resolve the problem to avoid downtime. CGRemote, on the other hand, will be more of a dashboard for all of your miners.
If CGWatcher is running on the mining computer (which is preferable and will give you far more control), CGRemote will communicate with CGWatcher (which in turn communicates with the miner.) If CGWatcher is not running on the mining computer (non-Windows miners), CGRemote will communicate with the miner directly. Both will allow you to change the miner if CGRemote has full API access, but on miners without CGWatcher these changes will not be saved because CGMiner/BFGMiner does not save changes sent to it via the API.
News/updates on CGRemote's progress will be posted on the CGWatcher page until it is released.
Cryptocables: Both applications will be open-source and on GitHub to allow others to contribute and so users with .NET experience can customize the software to their needs. I am new to GitHub so am learning how it works, otherwise I may have started out there. I've already created the repositories and they will be located at:

https://github.com/justinmilone/CGRemoteI have been rewriting/optimizing/fixing a lot of code now that I've had more time in preparation of this. For now, you can continue to download CGWatcher's newest versions at
http://manotechnology.blogspot.com/p/cgwatcher.html. I don't update version numbers for small fixes (although this may change in the future) to allow for quick changes for users who are having a specific problem, without nagging all of the other users that an update is available. An optional auto-update feature is on the to-do list so you will always have the latest files without having to worry about checking and downloading manually.
ColonelPooteh: Thanks
