That would be a good category for Revolution, but my interest at the moment is in an xTalk category. a category is a much larger thing than a single entry in an existing category, which just about anyone can add. As a public resource used by nearly every major search engine, DMOZ may be less inclined to devote a whole category for every proprietary product. But xTalk is a non-proprietary family of languages, and as such might stand a better chance of gaining entry. By furthering the xTalk family of languages we help legitimize it against unfair perceptions that it's specific to any single product. Such legitimization may be useful for helping both bean counters and hardened Java junkies consider things like Transcript with an open mind. Anyone who sees other xTalk implementations as competitors is thinking way too small. If we're successful it's not unreasonable to expect that we could liberate at least 10% of the world's Java developers from the tedium and lost productivity of their current workflow. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge: Publish any database on any Web site ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
