I'd say that I don't really need another static alpha-quality SVG viewer, it's only be relevant to people with very complex SVG documents who don't much about other viewers (assuming the viewer is significantly faster than others) and people who care much about them releasing anything, whatever it is. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.

RE: [svg-developers] Renesis asks us what to do
Hi, I mainly lurk on this forum. That said we use SVG for graphical Business Intelligence solutions, Analytics and Data Mining - very different from most GIS applications. My company has been looking forward to the SVG viewer from Renesis but we now have our doubts that it will ever ship. The postings on the site state that they are not too worried since SVG 1.2 has not beeen released. This is a cop out in my opinion. The project seemed too ambitious from the start, trying to support multiple platforms in the first release. Software simply is not developed that way. Get a good 1.0 release out the door and add functionality as you can. So pick IE or FireFox or whatever as your main platform and work from there. The Renesis team can gain some respect if they release something out to the community. If not, XAML is just around the corner and we will port to that platform. Val Matison President Info3 Inc.

Right I think I'm not exaggerating when I say everyone very strongly suspects it's vapourware. If it's missing features then they should document what's not there and make an alpha release. Apart from it being better PR than missing yet again a promised deadline it would also help them find bugs earlier. And since they seem to be having hiring problems, if it's good it might also entice quality people to apply for positions there. -- Robin Berjon Senior Research Scientist Expway, http://expway.com/ Yahoo!
