Most people on this list are fans of Orion and are rooting for them to succeed.
Personally, I root for the small guys, like Orion, Jboss, and Jonas, only because this
technology should be available to everyone, and not just companies with deep pockets.
Orion is the only commercial server under $5000 that is any good, and able to go toe
to toe with BEA on several points. I wouldn't want them to go out of business, and
would much rather Orion became an open source project before that happens. It has too
much potential to fold.

Subject: ORION RISE FROM THE DEAD!
I've been watching Orion for awhile using/testing. It so close to being ideal for me
and my clients and we are ready to buy. But development seems to have stopped lately.
Updates to the web site are virtually non-existant (ie ORION 1.2 released on main
site)...meanwhile we are up to 1.4.5 since Jan 22. I am happy with its current state.
I just sucessfully tested SSL with it. I haven't done much in terms of EJB yet, but
my experiences with orion still have been great.
SO ORION - Please get your act together. Or if you must go out of business....do it
soon....so I can look at enhydra/weblogic/websphere again...I haven't looked at them
in awhile because I have been happy with orion.
It's for your own good. You obviously have some great programmers who developed this
product. They should either keep working on it, or find another product to work on.
Best of luck
David
