[Laszlo-user] Perl Catalyst

[John Sundman]

Hi Geoff,

I'm the doc guy on the OpenLaszlo project in the employ of Laszlo  
Systems.  So, I try to keep up with what's in each release -- that's  
what they pay me for! But as a general policy I only comment in the  
most general terms about what's coming when.  I am not a spokesperson  
for either Laszlo Systems or the OpenLaszlo project, so I don't like  
to discuss future schedules.

Jim Grandy, the OpenLaszlo project lead, may offer an opinion about  
where SOAP fits into the schedule.   I'll confess that I've lost  
track of where SOAP fits into our plans for upcoming work.

However, we prefer that questions be addressed to the list, not to  
individuals on the list. Although there is a schedule and a plan (of  
which Jim is in charge; please see the OpenLaszlo wiki), OpenLaszlo  
is an open source project, and it's up to the community to determine   
when things will get done.  What I mean by that is, Laszlo Systems  
may or may not assign anybody to make SOAP work in SOLO mode, but if  
they don't, there is always the possibility that somebody else in the  
community will do the job.  We welcome contributions from volunteers.

I don't mean to be rude or off-putting. The plans for upcoming  
releases are on the OpenLaszlo wiki, but those plans are not always  
kept up to date, so some amount of uncertainly about OpenLaszlo plans  
is understandable.  But in the larger sense, the best way to ensure  
that a feature you want makes it into the platform is to work with  
other members of this list to make it happen.

Thanks,

jrs
