This is just in from Macromedia
Effective today, Macromedia has formally transitioned responsibility for the
Web Distributed Data Exchange (WDDX) Web site to a third party. All
information that has been posted to the WDDX Web site, wddx.org, can now be
found at http://www.openwddx.org.
WDDX is an XML-based technology that enables the exchange of complex data
between applications, creating what some refer to as 'Web syndicate
networks' and enabling Web Services. Allaire created WDDX in order to solve
key problems in exchanging data between Web applications. In particular,
Simeon Simeonov, Allaire's chief architect, created WDDX to support problems
of distributed computing within ColdFusion. This work was generalized into a
cross-language framework, and resulted in the creation of the WDDX SDK and
WDDX.org. Nate Weiss, an independent Web developer, with the support of
Allaire and a number of other third parties, created the WDDX SDK.
Transferring responsibility for this Web site is consistent with our overall
goal of supporting this technology within the public domain. As creator of
the technology, Allaire Corp. was at times perceived as the owner and formal
supporter of the technology, and that WDDX was a proprietary technology.
The establishment of OpenWDDX.org is intended to rekindle enthusiasm and
acceptance of WDDX in the developer community, and confirm its role as an
independent and enabling technology.
For more information, and a complete FAQ about the WDDX initiative, please
visit http://www.openwddx.org. If you have any questions on the setup or
goals of the new site, please feel free to contact me at any time.
Best,
