Geoff, Where are the mailing lists? I couldn't get to any on your site. We are interested in your effort.
Lanny Udey Hofstra University >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/18/02 17:58 PM >>> On this note... we are heading up an engineering effort to build a spectra-esque COAPI based purely on CFC's. This might offer an option for people to transition out of a reliance on Spectra but still enjoy the benefits of a Spectra like development environment. This is an open source effort (or will be when we release the code). It is not officially supported by Macromedia. Daemon will be releasing what we have when CFMX goes live. Anyone who is interested after that point is more than welcome to help us out. Rudimentary information is available at: http://necromedia.daemon.com.au/ (bringing dead software to life... :-) Join a mailing list to learn more in the near future. More comprehensive info will be available post CFMX launch - and the project codename will likely change to protect the innocent. -- geoff http://www.daemon.com.au/ Neil Clark - =TMM= wrote: .8<...snip...8<... > In the May announcement, Macromedia also discussed plans to engineer a > version of the Spectra content object API (COAPI) into the Neo version > of the application server.
