Open Source release of Frontier?.

Wow - UserLand plans open-source release of Frontier kernel. The kernel includes things like the UserTalk script interpreter, all the UserTalk builtin functions, the Frontier ODB and the Frontier web server.

I don't expect that it will gather as many developers as the big open source scripting languages, but it would be a worthy addition to the community. It used to be cutting-edge, and the system still has a bunch of great ideas, despite having been surpassed in various areas (speed, reliability, debuggability, popularity) by other competitors. Enough to be worth saving, for sure.

Just off the top of my head, I can think of some interesting projects to do with the Frontier source:

- remove the dependency on the GUI, so it could be run as a Windows service on NT/2K/XP (as modern server software does).

- once that's done, a UNIX port might not be so hard. Presumably it's fairly portable already, as right now it runs on two different versions of Mac OS as well as Windows.

- perhaps after those two, or perhaps first, someone could rip out UserTalk and make a standalone interpreter, so you can use it the way you might use Perl or Python at the moment.

- this is a bit of a long shot, but if you could make the UserTalk interpreter support the Python module API or something similar, a whole bunch of open source libraries (DB access, etc) would suddenly be within reach.

Anyway, that's all for now. Announcements of open-source releases usually precede the actual releases by quite a while, so don't hold your breath. When this release actually happens, though, it will be a lot of fun :-)

[Second p0st]

OK - I'll say it.

Dave Winer and Frontier were my main introductions to the web, CMS, webapps, personal publishing and open standards.  Without Dave - I wouldn't be sitting here today.

I can remember Dave telling me about this guy Eric Raymond - and his Cathedral white paper.  It really pissed off Dave.  He had made his Frontier tool available - for free - in the early 90's and had had direct experience in dealing with people expecting a whole lot for free.  Yet Dave knew that by having a strong developer community behind him - that's all that mattered.

So Dave spent a few years trying to figure this all out.  He then made the decision that he HAD to charge for Frontier - or else he'd never get corporate uptake.  This is just as Linux and all the open source stuff was starting.

So now jump to years later.  Frontier is finally open source - but it's too late.  Php and python came along, Zope, Drupal - all sorts of stuff that does exactly what Frontier and..... well let me correct myself - not EXACTLY what Frontier does - as it STILL is a revolutionary IDE - as the integrated outliner makes o-o programming actually culpable.

But there are still problems with Frontier - memory leaks aside.  And it sure seems like it's five years too late.  That doesn't mean folks should'nt use it.  My buddy Paolo uses it for his eVectors knowledge management stuff.  Radio is built on top of Friontier and gives unprecedented extensibility that I'm sure many a MT user wishes they had.

I spent years pitching Frontier as the backend solution to our front-end needs.  Most people would look at me and say "Huh?"  But I'm proud of Dave and Frontier and I hope that LOTS of college kids give it a try!

"This is either intellectual incompetence or intellectual dishonesty." So wrote Howard Rheingold about Adam Thierer's latest missive from Cato. I wouldn't call it "incompetence," given the custom of his community (DC). Nor, given the standards of his community, is it quite dishonesty. You are where you sleep, and Cato sleeps in the land of lobbyists.

Late to the Panther party


Late to the Panther party 10/29/2003 04:59 PM

I know I'm late to the blogosphere release party for Panther, but I just got it last night and, biting the bullet, installed it with only minimal effort toward backing things up. I intend to eventually wipe this PowerBook completely and install fresh, but I couldn't wait. :)

Mark Pilgrim published the most definitive coverage of the beastie I've seen yet, with help of the denizens of #joiito to manage the onslaught of readers. So, I won't make any attempt to catalog the new things.

A few impressions though:

  • Everything feels faster. Windows slide around and resize like they've been waxed underneath. Things seem to launch faster.
  • A few small things have improved, like System Preferences quitting when I close the window, rather than hanging around waiting for me to open the window again or quit.
  • Some third-party extension I had installed threw Finder into a launch-and-crash loop for awhile. So, if you've yet to install, try to purge your system of extensions first. This should be obvious, but is sometimes a surprise when it's actually a problem.
  • Expose looked like a neat feature when I first heard of it. I fully expected it to be slow, stuttery, and 'cute' when I finally played with it. Now, having used it and slowly incorporating it into my usage habits, it's amazing. Smooth and not stuttery at all, it looks like a computer interface feature from the movies.
  • Fast user switching, where desktops rotate in and out of view, also looks like you wish it would, and seems like it's from the movies.
  • I hate metal.
  • I hate metal.
  • I hate metal.

That is all. For now. Maybe.
