:-) heb je je vuurvaste pak aangetrokken? -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Peter Reitsma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Verzonden: donderdag 1 april 2004 12:07 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: RE: MMBase Management Committee Elections - The Candidates
Hi, To support my candidacy for becoming a commiter I would like to share my view on the future of MMBase with you. Once a commiter I will activily pursue a C# fork of MMBase. Lots of customers are complaining about this technology dependency of MMBase and the fact that it is obligatory to install a Java Runtime Machine before they can start working. Furthermore, the fact that MMBase is now completely based on Java technology is a big obstacle for my ultimate goal: a tight integration of MMBase within Windows XP. Once MMBase runs within the .NET-framwork we can leverage all the neat functionality that XP offers and integrate with the ClipBoard, Outlook and MSN Messenger. Authentication and user management can be integrated with Microsoft passport and Active Directoy. Furthermore we will be able to leverage ActiveX functionality within the EditWizards, a long sought after functionality by many MMBase users. Of course we should be cautious of any legal anti-trust cases that could be made against us once XP and MMBase are bundled together, but we should be able to sort this out. What do you guys think about it ?
