 What kind of server side were you interested in?
 

Small Business Web Hosting including data base.
Low development cost more important than maximum scalability.
Emphasis on client ability to maintain website [after initial deployment]
using lower-skilled people as much as possible, to lower lifetime costs.

Sticking closely to mainstream software wherever possible, in hopes of
marketing broadly to other web developers. Specifically, compatibility with
Adobe tools for web designers; otherwise standards and open source.

My current thinking is that the base server side infrastructure can be
completely open source. I think there are enough open source pieces out
there to pull that off. If so, could gather strong momentum that wouldn't be
possible if not open source. Make revenue by customized add-ons on top of
the open source base, combined with consulting services in utilizing the
total solution.

If your company identified a server-side base layer that it could make sense
to you to open source, that would be a discussion of interest to me.

We will be using our ES4 implementation server side. Mainly for  
embedded uses, but it could apply more broadly.
We have a server side page technology like ASP -- called ESP. This  
simply processes % code % sequences and
effectively converts the web page into javascript code that is then  
processed. We've used this in our Appweb embedded
web server for quite a while, but the javascript language was very  
limited. Still it has worked well.


Upgrading to ES4 will give a very sweet server side environment. Of  
course, we have had to add quite a bit of extra

library code suitable for server side processing.

What kind of server side were you interested in?

Are there any Open Source projects to develop server-side ECMAScript  
4?


I'm in preliminary stages of locating (or starting if none exists) a  
project to use Tamarin/ActionScript 3 on both server and client.  
This would naturally evolve into ES4 once that is final.


Researching to see what exists.

My tentative thought is to adapt Whitebeam http://www.whitebeam.org/
from SpiderMonkey to Tamarin. This would provide an XML-based Web  
Application Server.


Targeting Flash Player 9 on the client side, as a rich media  
platform. (and Flash Lite 2 on mobile devices -- looking forward to  
a future version with AS3 support).


If anyone has an interest, or any relevant information, please let  
me know.
