I have not blogged for a while, in truth have just been busy. Thought I would share some experiences with the world.
First the news.
Mozzie 1.8 is still going well, probably because I have left it alone ;-)

There is a new version, it runs on Firefox 3 and incorporates all of the new stuff being done by the team working on the XForms plug-in, as well as some goodies. It will be called 2.9 to keep with the tradition of incremental releases.
So what will be in it:

• All of the latest trunk of the Mozilla XForms
• Extra functions for xpath (choose, etc) as well as some xslt functions.

One of the areas where the xforms implementation differed from the mozilla code base was that repeats could be represented as tables. With Firefox 3.0 this is no longer needed as you can use css to do the same thing.

Expect this early next year.

The other side of the coin is what has been keeping us busy, and that has been our SAAS/PAAS (should it be called S-PAAS?) which is an XML platform for delivering services.

It is intended to not be an open source product rather than it is targeted at ISP's who don't want to loose their customers to Amazon/Google/MS-Azure platforms. It is a an XML standards based platform for collaborative software delivery.
The only issue is that one of the core technologies is XProc and the standardization of that is taking a while.
The idea is that it is an SOA platform with a standards flavor,so that you can move between any ISP with pure XML markup (no code or library dependencies).

It will be released at the same time as Mozzie 2.9 as that forms a core component of the forms delivery platform.

I will blog over the next few months with the details. For now keep using XForms and XML standards....
