Apollo version of our Webmail client
« IETF, open source and the Internet under attack | Main | Debugging Flex Applications »Check out Adobe's Apollo. Want to see a version of our Meldware Webmail running on it? It could help with offline functionality. Guess what? TOO BAD! James may add it to the build, but it won't be part of the mainstream distribution and the core developers in general won't be testing it or building it or whatever. Instead we'll probably be building a Java-based offline backend (basically a trimmed "dummy" version of Meldware CS) installed with Java Web Start. Why you ask? Well most of us can't actually run it or build it or test with it for the simple reason that we use Linux. Adobe's Linux commitment continues to leave something to be desired. It is too bad too. Apollo looks like it might be a good idea.
