Hello Ian, > since the "XUL alliance" > has failed to get any standardisation done in its > years of existence
The goal of the XUL alliance for now is *not* to create a new spec. If you care to check out the sourceforge project blurb, it states: The XUL (XML User Interface Language) project provides free test suites to help ensure interoperability between different XUL motors/browsers and free, open-source show-case examples (aka blue prints) to demo the power of XML for creating UIs. Now I admit there are no free test suites for now but there are plenty of open-source showcase examples. May I highlight the Counter sample showcase online @ http://xul.sourceforge.net/counter.html You can also download the XUL Challenge 2004 package that includes samples for more than 15+ XML UI language formats. See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.xul.announce/403 > than, say, the laughable "XUL alliance". First, let's be clear. As I already posted in the Mozillazine article I welcome the new WHAT WG initiative. The RICHIE initiative is not better than the WHAT WG it's just different. The RICHIE initiative is - suprise, suprise - about creating a RICH Internet for Everyone. The core difference is that the RICHIE initiative is somewhat more ambitious as it tries to reach beyond HTML and web browsers (e.g. rich clients, rich browsers, rich portals). Finally, allow me to stress that I'm a volunteer and I do not get paid for working on a rich internet for everyone. In contrast, you are a full-time Opera employee and you get paid to further Opera's commercial intersts. Can you see the difference? Anyway, please leave out the insults in future postings and try to use a more professional style if you want to critique the XUL Alliance initiative. Also note that in contrast to you I haven't banned you from the mailinglist.
