Hi,

I'm Bill Seyler of Pentaho and I am currently overseeing the Halogen
development.  The Halogen project has moved from a 'proof of concept' into
an 'incubator' project.  The goal is much as stated above.  Give the
commercial guys a run for their money and update/replace the
"long-in-the-tooth" JPivot.

Halogen leverages olap4j and gwt to attempt to create a rich web OLAP
viewer.  In that respect it would not be tightly coupled with mondrian since
Olap4J support XMLA.  In theory any OLAP provider that included XMLA support
(like most of them do) would be able to use Halogen as their viewer.

If anyone is interested in contributing code, GUI mockups, test code, or
would like to contribute to the road map then please become a member of the
halogen project and by all means start contributing.  I personally am stoked
about this product.  I wrote the Hyperion Analyzer OLAP grid component and
am looking forward to raising the bar while leveraging new technologies.

Reguards,

Bill
