Hello Dave, > Otherwise, the aim of RICHIE is not clear - is it > published?
Well, RICHIE stands for RICH Internet for Everyone. Now guess what? The aim of the RICHIE initiative is to create a rich internet for everyone. > I would like to understand what it is that is being > ignored and please don't spin me "RICHIE exists to > do the same thing, just > different" because I can not draw comparisons between > that and the WHATWG. Well, what is ignored is that there are alternatives to the plain-old browsers, the W3C and WHAT WG. May I quote Laurence Moroney - a senior architect with the Reuters Innovation Labs and Rapid Development Groups in New York City - from the DevX article titled "XUL: The Gatekeeper to Higher-level Web UIs". Here we go: Don't forget that XUL also gives you a miniature Web server that you can embed in your apps to give peer-to-peer functionality, a scripting interpreter that is Python-based, and portal and template engines. It all adds up to a pretty compelling framework. With a rich and competent offering like Luxor XUL ready to use, it's easy to wonder why anyone would wait for XAML. Anyways, it's not about Luxor but about an alternative next-gen browser architecture using modern runtimes and new markup languages. Check out MyXaml online @ http://www.myxaml.com for another alternative. Any thoughts?
