I think it will most definitely deliver on promises...  but, as we see
with the article, it will probably take a bit of time to iron out
both the foreseen and unforeseen creases. Will definitely be an
interesting wrestling match to be seen amongst the giants (where I
predict Adobe will not fare as well as they would hope - with Bruce
Chizen out of the picture and Shuntanu left in charge, the price of
"first on stage" privileges may be a little steep under his leadership
(just MHO though) - the run has been nice for them... but we only need
to look at today which is SOOO different then even a few ago... Wile a
few well-doers were struggling to get even a small share of the PDF
market, Adobe enjoyed their hard earned quasi-monopoly. Now, PDF
creating app/software is out there, many for free (thanks to Bruce
really for going to ISO ;)) Now, PDF enabled technologies like web2py,
has enough PDF functionality to satisfy even ardent users, AND  great
interoperability with its existing existing built-in technologies.

So with HTML 5 and all those great multi-media capable/ready
possibilities...  I think, (or rather I predict) that the biggest
winners may be unexpected: the open Source community.

so, my thoughts on that? I think that web2py & its community are well
positioned and will clearly benefit by its "official" arrival. And,
thinking of the sample that was posted a few weeks ago with the
welcome app on HTML 5, clearly web2py will be in a great space to
integrate the exciting new stuff to the proven, and certainly no less
exciting stuff of today! :)



SO, where to start indeed... I can get the latest and greatest,
install and post a little report on the findings. Thinking the
logistics... would be nice to have some place to post as well as
manage all the related data/documents/filesets (like a project
management area where we could all collaborate...)

Stay tuned!
Mart :)
