Bringing it up for discussion... Right now, Alchemi seems to be primarily a research project, with excellent commercial potential, but with very few commercial deployments.
I realize this is a source forge project and not a business, but I kind of want to get a feel for the opinions on the future of the project. How do you see Alchemi being used in the next few years? What is your personal vision for this project? Do you see it just as a toy, something neat to mess around with; something primarily for use in scientific/engineering applications; something for use as a backend to business applications; or what? And where do you see it being used? Large Fortune 500 businesses, or small programming shops, or manufacturing businesses, or something else? I ask because while the project is interesting, and while we have a pretty good understanding of where the project is going on a technical level, I think we can benefit from some visibility and direction setting on a usage and marketing level. In a way I'm looking at "how can we take Alchemi, which is an excellent framework in itself, and start pitching the concept to increase our user base and make something great of it?". Much like what Red Hat did for Linux. Jonathan Mitchem ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
