More XUL Links

Hi,

   Doug Holton has collected some XUL links with
commentary in his latest "Ed Tech Dev" blog entry
online @
http://edtechdev.org/blog/archives/001144.html
including links to XUL apps (such as NewsMonster,
Komodo, Space Invaders and others) and to XUL articles
(such as Roll Your Own Browser, Using Remote XUL and
more).
 
  Harry Fuecks sent in a link to his article titled
"XUL: rendering GUIs with PHP" online @
http://www.phppatterns.com/index.php/article/articleview/45/1/2/

  Harry concludes:

  It's incredibly easy to knock up an XUL application.
I'm not saying the "phpPatterns XUL Viewer" is
anything amazing but it demonstrates the point and
perhaps makes it easier to navigate the site - the
"Articles" and "Links" menus are generated on the fly
by PHP.

  and ends with a call to arms titled "XUL Needs You":

What's particularily weird about XUL is how little
attention it's getting while it's a truly outstanding
technology. That probably has a lot to do with who's
paying the IT press to talk about their products (open
source relies on developers to spread the word) as
well as Mozilla being perceived to have "lost" the
browser wars. 
...
Right now there's little out there both in the way of
sites providing XUL tutorials or RAD tools for
building XUL applications.
...
If you're looking for an opportunity to put up a
"resource" site, XUL makes great material. As far as
PHP is concerned, there's basically next to zero
projects out there doing anything with XUL (certainly
a library for building XUL widgets along the lines of
HAWHAW would be worthwhile).

PS: I invite you to sign-up for the xul-talk mailing
list @
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xul-talk
if you don't want to miss out on the latest news about
all things XUL because starting in May I will no
longer post this kind of news here, but instead post
it only to the xul-talk mailing list and I encourage
you to follow this practice too.
