I don't think that it will be much of a hornet's nest; I'm quite looking forward to it.
Spectra should run on Neo if AS is replaced with a different solution- there is already a replacement on the market that is supposed to scale nicely, so that shouldn't be a problem. Neo CFCs should also be a nice area of Spectra application tuning. I've also heard rumours that third parties are coming out with some Neo native Spectra API replacements like Workflow. As for other APIs, like publishing, it should work on top of Neo. It is in desperate need of an overhaul so it is still an open issue if that will ever happen. We could continue to use the Spectra Open Source site and codebase for higher-order application framework functionality on top of Neo. The infrastructure and developers are there, it would be a shame if Macromedia ignored that. As for pricing, who knows what the sales and marketing folks will want to do. I guess it is entirely contextual on how it effects Macromedia's bottom line and the industry story its crafting. allen ______________________________________________ - p r i s m i x - allen manning, web architect t: +44 (0) 7712 894458 w: http://prismix.com f: +44 (0) 7092 097115 e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________ > -----Original Message----- > From: Neil Clark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 18 January 2002 10:33 > To: Spectra-Talk > Subject: RE: What happens when CF 6 comes out > > > Jeez, there's a hornets nest right there!
