Yes, we are active and alive! A lot of progress has been made on both Ibex and Vexi.
The two projects will definitely _not_ be merging in the foreseeable future. However, there is an increased synergy between Ibex and Vexi lately and it is starting to pay dividends. Vexi is re-using a lot of the Ibex progress and there are some exciting developments to come in the very near future. Ibex is to be regarded as a more experimental playground for related projects developed by several long term developers. Vexi is an attempt to gather the progress made with Ibex and build on top of it a stable platform for developing and publishing web applications in a cross- browser, multi-OS* environment outside of the constraints of (X)HTML and browsers. As a collection of developers [from both projects], we share the common belief that web applications should not be constrained by the restrictions typically placed upon them by Today's technology, and can be as effective as standard desktop applications without compromising security. * At the moment this is achieved using Java, however Ibex/Vexi use a unique architecture oriented around creating native builds from Java source using GCJ and it's only a matter of time before there are native versions of Vexi for at least Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X, enabling it to run out-of-the-box in the most popular browser/OS environments. Those interested should follow the Vexi core list: http://lists.vexi.org There are now at least 3 companies using Vexi in a professional environment, and hopefully that list will start to grow rapidly as more progress is made with Vexi [and Ibex] and more features are added. Announcements will be made in the coming weeks as core technology progress and demonstration applications will be unleashed. - C Charles Goodwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
