Project status

Hello folks,

Judging from the lack of activity here, the age of the last update,
and the fact that CNET itself doesn't appear to be using it any more,
it looks like this project has wound down. Am I right about that, or
are people just so completely satisfied that no further updates or
discussion is needed?

Why is that? It still looks to me like there's a need for a simple,
lightweight mobile UI tool set, one with fewer assumptions, less
complexity (and fewer bugs) than JQuery Mobile, but still targeting a
wide variety of platforms. I also like the page-div-reuse model here.

If you've moved on to other tools, what are you using? JQuery Mobile?
Sencha? The original IUI? Why?

Thanks,

Dave Merrill

Hi David,

CNET is still sort of using it. It's just not tied to the lucrative iphone.cnet.com host anymore. It can still be found here: http://reviews.cnet.com/4250-1-0.html. 

I wouldn't consider the project dead, just on an unwanted hiatus. There are plenty of bugs to work out so I was looking for a little community involvement to get those resolved as I couldn't spend much more time on doing it myself. I guess there is a bunch of "consumers" but not many (read: none) contributors. 

If anyone here is up for taking on some of the bugs and/or enhancements, I'll be happy to make you a project contributor.

Thanks,

Vladimir

Thanks for getting back Vladimir. I hope you didn't take my question as a criticism of you, the project, or anyone else, it wasn't meant that way at all (:-).

We're looking at a number of mobile dev frameworks, evaluating their current capabilities and momentum, trying to figure out where we want to devote our energies. There are a lot of larger-scale strategy questions involved on our side too, so it's not just about the mobile code. We'll see what happens. Of course if we do get involved, I/we will do our best to help out.

Thanks again,

Dave Merrill
