Hear! Hear! ;-)) We are on the same wavelength in this regard. :) As you all know, I'm making steady progress towards this goal, e.g. an open-source multi-platform xCard that takes advantage of all the relevant Web [2.0] standards, and so on. Yup! I speak of "XulCard". :-) Its 'File Format' is completed. Exporting from HC to XulCard is hours away from completion. Running this exporter on all of the stacks of the HC-Pantechnicon will provide me|us with LOTS of 'data' (*stacks* and etc). This data can be used immediately via existing RDF [client] programs and APIs. Ex: myPiggyBank .... The next BIG step towards my goal of an open-source web-centric xCard will be to create the server-side engine of XulCard; basically an RDF-parser that can read/write/etc the RDF-data of XulCard's file-format and, of course, the interactions between the server and its clients (HTTP, XML-RPC, AJAX, etc.). > ... for an open source alternative ... In my view, XulCard won't be an "alternative" to Rev because Rev is desktop-based while OTOH XulCard will be entirely web-centric. I surrender the Desktop to Rev! Let's be *complimentary* :-)) Next update : weeks|months from now. I don't want to inundate this Rev-centric list with 'off-topic' self promoting marketing schlick! ;-) Over and out, :) Alain F. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
