Re: XOpus

Hi all,

It's a pity that Q42 has suspended their commitment to opem source! 
Although I know about the difficulties of making money with open source 
software very well, I fully agree with Henri Bergius on the Xopus 
mailing list:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xopus/message/243
The time Q42 allowed for an open source project to evolve and to 
establish was way too short (2.5 months)!

And I agree with Jann that the Xopus example shows that the open source 
xml editor world is not in a state yet where you could fully rely on it. 
This means for Wyona that we will have a closer look at existing 
form-based editors and that we will put some effort into bringing our 
HTMLFormEditor to a level where it actually can be used.
