OpenAjax is an alliance of various industry participants interested in advancing the adoption of Ajax technologies by lowering the risk and cost of using Ajax. Open source is an important mean from OpenAjax Alliance's perspective to promote interoperability and wide adoption.
The alliance has about 30 members including IBM, BEA, Oracle, Zimbra (who contributed their Ajax Toolkit to Apache as Apache Kabuki), Nexaweb (where XAP originated from), Yahoo, Google, Dojo Foundation (whose Dojo Toolkit is an important component), Mozilla Foundation, etc. The group doesn't have a website yet (that means you won't be able to find the right destination from Google search) and we just had our first meeting this week. Here is InformationWeek's coverage on OpenAjax recently (XAP is mentioned in this article): http://news.yahoo.com/s/cmp/20060513/tc_cmp/187202799 ---Coach -----Original Message----- From: robert burrell donkin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2006 8:23 AM To: general@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: XAP (Extensible Ajax Platform) Proposal On 5/16/06, Coach Wei <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thanks Robert for volunteering to be a mentor for XAP.

I'll be interested in hearing what Apache community thinks about the > above goals for openAjax, and further, comments related to XAP as well. i'm a very long way short of being an AJAX expert. not sure that XAP has really appeared on the radar of those who are involved and knowledgable in AJAX here at apache. (one of the unresolved issues we have at apache is how to keep interested people informed about cross-project issues.) - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
