Hi! I am posting a new message here just to ask you if, after HP's
announcmente to open source WebOS, anything has changed to the fules'
development roadmap. Have you decided what to do (in terms of new
feauters and so on) in the future with this app?

I appreciate your interest. Unfortunately, the announcement isn't enough to convince me one way or the other. Several announcements have been made that didn't end up materializing, so I'm still taking a wait and see approach.

After taking more than a passing moment to look a little more closely at what is happening... There are a few things (from the enyojs.com FAQ) that may actually result in a change:

"When are the UI widgets coming to Enyo 2?
It is the very next thing we are working on, and we hope to have it out in about a month. We’ll update you with regular builds as work progresses, now that Enyo is an open source project.

Is Enyo just for mobile?
No, Enyo’s purpose in life is to make it easier for you to build and maintain HTML5 applications of any size and complexity, whether you’re targeting phones, tablets, PCs, or other form factors. Over time, you can expect to see Enyo add-ons that are specialized for various purposes, but the Enyo core will remain broadly applicable.

Can I use Enyo to build hosted web apps?
Yes. Enyo is in no way specialized for packaged apps and can be used in a hosted web app just like any other JavaScript library.

Can I use Enyo to build packaged apps for iOS? Android? Chrome?
Yes. In the case of iOS, Android and other mobile platforms, you’ll need to wrap your Enyo app in a native “shell.” The easiest way to do that is to use PhoneGap, which also gives your app access to various native capabilities on each platform.

What platforms does Enyo work on?
Enyo 2 works on any platform with a modern web runtime."

It's still a little too early to say... but it does have my interest.

Thanks for your answers. I am just glad that the project around this
app is not over :-) I really hope that the webOS's roadmap to become
open webOS will not encounter any trouble.
