Could you please add ferite to the list. ferite is my scripting engine that
really requires you to read the docs to see what it can do :) I am it's
author and will make sure ferite can walk the walk with regards to this
specification.
<plug> I do urge people to not go "urgh another scripting engine" but go take a look
at the manual on http://dox.ferite.org - all the response I have got from it
so far is very positive. </plug>
Regards,
Chris
