Is Wonderland going to be the new item to keep picking on like CORBA. 1) Yes, there is actually a community who want something like second life but open. 2) Project Wonderland was being developed by a very small team (about 8 people) in Sun Labs. Sun Labs is was a entirely different division of Sun than the divison which would work on SWIG etc so I don't see that Wonderland was pulling resources away form core Java. Some of the work done on Wonderland was by Interns (placement students) for example. 3) It has been said that if there is demand for a project it will survive even if corporate backing is pulled out. Guess what? Open Wonderland is still very much alive even without Sun / Oracle backing. 4) I am involved in Virtual World Research an use Open Wonderland as my Virtual Environment of choice. As such expect that every time anyone makes a disparaging remark about Project Wonderland and assuming I notice I will likely keep making responses like this.
In summary: STOP PICKING ON PROJECT WONDERLAND. *sigh* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
