Zum Neubeginn

Jan 1, 10:17

	Frohes neues Jahr für alle! Ich denke, wir können uns darauf freuen, denn die Chancen sind sehr gut, dass es besser wird als das letzte. :-)

Neuer Russischer Übersetzer

Dec 22, 18:27

	Wir haben einen neuen russischen Übersetzer. Alexander ("azlk" im Forum) hat schon eine Menge Arbeit auf unserer russischen Website getan, und arbeitet auch an der Übersetzung von Syllable selbst.

Totale Freiheit

Nov 10, 19:23

	Die holländische Website des Software Freedom Day läuft nun auf Syllable Server und dem enthaltenen Cheyenne Webserver. Dies hat der Seite sehr viel mehr Speicherplatz für ihre Multimedia-Inhalte, virtuelles Hosting unter ihren eigenen Domainnamen und die Freiheit, selbst ausgewählte Servertechnologie zu verwenden, zur Verfügung gestellt. Die Seite war bereits mit demselben Content Management System erstellt worden, das Kaj für die Syllable-Seiten entwickelt.

Willkommen an die Linux-Magazine-Leser

Nov 1, 19:19

	Bas hat sich heute morgen das neue Dutch Linux Magazine geholt, welches gerade in die Läden gekommen ist. Diese November-Ausgabe, Nummer 5 dieses Jahr, hat einen vierseitigen Artikel über Syllable, einschließlich einem Interview mit Kristian.

Syllable Conference Fimbul Winter-Ausgabe

Oct 25, 20:58

	Bas hat angekündigt, dass er die erste Winterausgabe der Syllable-Konferenz organisieren wird. Wir haben eine eigene Seite hierfür aufgesetzt, wo Bas Sie informieren wird, wie das Event sich entwickelt.

From Russia with Love

Oct 25, 20:34

	Dmitry ("Rohan" im Forum) hat eine offizielle russische Website angefragt, also haben wir diese aufgesetzt. Dmitry wird im Lauf der Zeit übersetzen.

Die zweite Auflage des Software Freedom Day

Sep 17, 18:58

	Kaj wird den brandneuen Syllable Server 0.3 auf dem Software Freedom Day-Event am Samstag, den 20. September in Utrecht in den Niederlanden präsentieren. Er wird auch bei der Holland Open Software Conference in Amsterdam zwei Tage zuvor präsent sein. Obwohl es dort keine Syllable Präsentation geben wird, wenn Sie Lust haben, mit Kaj zu sprechen, können Sie ihn beim Herumlaufen abfangen oder Bas auf dem Software Freedom Day-Stand bei HOSC treffen.

Beobachte die Beobachter

Sep 16, 16:33

	Dank der Tatsache, dass Syllable Server ein Linux ist und nachdem es durch deren Warteliste gegangen ist, ist Syllable nun bei DistroWatch aufgeführt, der wichtigsten Internetseite, die Linux-Distributionen sowie ein paar BSD- und Solaris-Systeme beobachtet.

Alle guten Dinge sind drei

Sep 12, 8:33

	Die dritte Ausgabe von Syllable Server wurde veröffentlicht. Dies ist ein wichtiges Release, da es das erste darstellt, welches darauf fokussiert ist, das System als Server verwendbar zu machen. Eine Anzahl bekannter Server wurde hinzugefügt und konfiguriert, und außerdem einige innovative REBOL Software-Stacks. Syllable Server ist nun bereit für solche Dinge wie das Akzeptieren von entfernten SSH-Anmeldungen über das Netzwerk, Ausführen eines Web-Servers auf dem Cheyenne REBOL-Server, Ausführen eines FTP-Servers und vieles mehr. Spezielle Aufmerksamkeit wurde auf die Programmierbarkeit gelegt, mit Unterstützung der Entwicklung von Model-View-Controller Internetanwendungen in QuarterMaster und Netzwerkanwendungen mit der REBOL/Services Service-orientierten Architektur. Das Genode Nitpicker Fenstersystem ist ebenso enthalten. Lesen Sie den Rest im vollständigen Changelog. Ein umfassendes Handbuch wurde auch geschrieben, dem sich leicht folgen lässt. Wie üblich sowohl als BitTorrent-Download (bevorzugt) und als gewöhnlicher Download verfügbar (80 MB 7-Zip-Archiv). Bitte benutzen Sie das Torrent, wenn Sie können.

Software Freedom Day

Sep 6, 22:06

	Neben der Organisation von Syllable-Events ist Bas sehr aktiv in Kreisen von Open Source, offenen Standards und offenen Inhalten im Allgemeinen. Ein wirklich offener Mann. :-) Er organisiert auch den Software Freedom Day in den Niederlanden. Sein freies Ereignis wird nächstes Wochenende am 13. September stattfinden. Es ist wirklich wert, besucht zu werden, mit etwa zwanzig Organisationen, die Stände aufbauen und Vorträge halten. Zusätzlich wird Bas Syllable vorführen sowie das anstehende neue Release von Syllable Server.

Eine "DOSE" Technologie

Sep 6, 21:53

	Bas wird Syllable auf der T-DOSE-Konferenz in den Niederlanden repräsentieren, dem freien "Technical Dutch Open Source Event", "dem Ort, an dem sich Experten treffen". Am Wochenende des 25. und 26. Oktober, werden in der Stadt Eindhoven, an der Fontys University of Applied Science, mehr als zwanzig Refrenten sein und viele Open-Source-Projekte werden Licht auf ihre Arbeiten werfen. Bas wird Syllable in einer Rede präsentieren und einen Stand betreuen.

SylCon-Fotos

Aug 7, 12:23

	Hier sind die Bilder von SylCon, freundlicherweise von skoet.nl zur Verfügung gestellt: http://skoet.nl/vakantie08/page2.htm (auf halber Strecke) http://skoet.nl/vakantie08/page3.htm http://skoet.nl/vakantie08/page4.htm http://skoet.nl/vakantie08/page5.htm Wir haben auch ein paar Videos, doch diese werden etwas mehr Zeit brauchen. Bas wird versuchen, eine neue Ausgabe des SDN mit einer SylCon-Reportage zu erstellen.

Deutsche und slowenische Übersetzungen

Aug 5, 23:31

	Lokalisierte Internetseiten springen aus der Erde. Michael Utz und Matic Gradiser haben angeboten, sich um die deutsche bzw. slowenische Version unserer Internetseite zu kümmern, also haben wir diese erstellt. Genau wie bei den anderen übersetzen Seiten werden Michael und Matic die Übersetzungen im Lauf der Zeit komplettieren und betreuen. Sie würden auch gerne versuchen, die deutsche und slowenische Übersetzung von Syllable selbst zu erstellen und zu pflegen.

Forum verschoben

Aug 5, 15:13

	Wir haben unser Forum an einen neuen Speicherort verschoben. Sollten Sie ein Lesezeichen auf unser Forum gesetzt haben, aktualiseren Sie bitte den Verweis. Alle Daten wurden migriert, so dass Sie sich einfach wie zuvor anmelden können.

USB-Bug herausgeflogen

Aug 5, 14:57

	Kristian hat einen Fehler verfolgt und entfernt, der verhinderte, dass Syllable von einem USB-Laufwerk startet. Wir haben eine neue Entwicklerversion veröffentlicht, die von einem USB-CD-Laufwerk startet. Dies bedeutet, dass Syllable nun auf Rechnern installiert werden kann, die kein IDE-CD-Laufwerk besitzen, wie z.B. der Asus Eee PC und andere kleine Laptops. Außerdem sollte es, mit ein paar zusätzlichen Einstellungen im Bootloader, möglich sein, Syllable auf einem USB-Laufwerk wie beispielweise einem Speicherstick zu installieren. Auf SylCon fanden wir heraus, dass die zusätzliche SD-Speicherkarte im Eee PC intern per USB angeschlossen ist. Es sollte nun möglich sein, Syllable auf der Zusatzkarte zu installieren, so dass Sie das Standardbetriebssystem auf der Hauptplatte nicht anfassen müssen. Die neue Entwicklerversion enthält zudem den neuen Webster-Browser. Update: weitere Bugs in unserer USB-Unterstützung scheinen zu verursachen, dass Syllable sich bei der Installation auf einem USB-Medium wie einer Speicherkarte aufhängt. Dieses Problem wird zunächst gelöst werden müssen, bevor wir dies tun können.

Vorstellung des Image Viewer

Aug 5, 14:22

	Jonas Jarvoll hat seine neue Anwendung Image Viewer herausgegeben. Sie besitzt mehr Fähigkeiten als der Bildbetrachter AView, der mit Syllable mitgeliefert wird. Image Viewer steht nun in der Liste unserer Anwendungs-Downloads zur Verfügung.

Treffen Sie Webster

Jul 24, 16:08

	Mehr kreative Zerstörung. Ein anderer lange erwarteter Meilenstein wurde erreicht. Es war immer unser Plan, die Web Rendering-Engine von ABrowse in eine Bibliothek zu extrahieren, zusammen mit einem nativen Syllable View Widget, das darauf aufsetzt, so dass es in mehr Anwendungen als nur einen Webbrowser integriert werden kann. Kristian hat genau das getan: aufbauend auf Arno's WebCore-Portierung, hat er diese aktualisiert und die Modularisierung durch Erstellung der WebView-Klasse weitergeführt. Es hat den Browser aufbauend hierauf neu geschrieben und nannte ihn Webster. Die erste Alpha-Version ist verfügbar über unsere Anwendungs-Downloads. Die aktuelle Entwicklerversion von Syllable 0.6.6 wird benötigt, um sie auszuführen, da diverse Fehler im System für den neunen Browser entfernt wurden. Der Quellcode ist auf unserer Entwicklungsseite verfügbar.

SylCon Development Builds

Jul 24, 16:06

	We slept through a storm on the ship. We docked alongside a clipper a bit too hastily; another clipper, the Hollandia, crashed into us. Nothing new, shippers from Holland have always sucked. We saw a Black-headed Gull die; we saw a Great Crested Grebe feed a fish to her young. Nothing else is important, is it? Oh, there's another cycle of destruction and creation. We demonstrated a new development build of Syllable Server that we created just before the conference. While we were sailing in Friesland, Kristian produced a new development build of Syllable Desktop in England. Both are now published here.

Zorro Strikes Again

Jul 14, 19:45

	Unfortunately, we had to replace our Spanish web site. We extended our content management system to create a fully integrated new one, so it is now an official branch of our main web site. Lucas Murad created the old site and will be editing the new one. We took the opportunity to also overhaul our Dutch site and pull it into the content management system. Bas de Lange is the editor. The sites currently still show the original English content. The editors will be translating it over time.

Immer Mehr BeGeistert

Jul 14, 19:40

	As last time, we have been invited again to the BeGeistert BeOS meeting, the 019 edition. It will be held from 10 to 12 October in the same venue in Düsseldorf in Germany. Bas will be there to represent Syllable again.

SylCon is Nigh

Jul 11, 1:10

	The Syllable Conference 2008 will start in a week. We will be holding presentations and workshops around the upcoming Syllable Desktop 0.6.6 and Syllable Server 0.3. There will be a workshop showing how to set up a complete network with Server and Desktop machines and how, if you know one, you know the other. We will also try to install Syllable on an Asus EeePC.

Syllable Server Development Build

Jun 7, 2:11

	We released a development build of Syllable Server. This version has a number of updated components, including the kernel, and several fixes. Most importantly, a lot of server functionality was added. Included is a REBOL software stack with a web server and a web programming framework. Support and start scripts are integrated for a number of standard servers, such as CUPS, OpenSSH, BIND, Apache, RSync, SaMBa and VSFTP. However, the configurations of these new modules are not complete yet.

Two To Tango

May 3, 22:20

	Ruwen Boehm ported the VLC and MPlayer multimedia players to Syllable Desktop. The behaviour of both is still a bit rough, but watching DVDs on Syllable is possible now. Some of the needed parts were ported by Rui Caridade, Andrew Kennan and Kaj de Vos. Newly ported components include FAAD2, FLAC, FontConfig, LibA52, LibCDDB, LibDVDNav, LibDVDRead, LibID3Tag, LibMAD and LibMPEG2. These packages don't have to be installed separately, as the libraries are included in VLC and MPlayer. Packages for both are in our resources downloads. They need to be started from the command line, until someone writes native Syllable graphical control interfaces for them.

Syllable Desktop Running on Asus Eee PC!

Apr 14, 22:12

	Michael Saunders got Syllable Desktop to run on his new Asus Eee PC - a machine for which it is uniquely suited. There is some work to do to support all hardware, but most functionality already works. Michael reports that video, audio, touchpad, USB and battery monitor all work. Widescreen video and network don't and there may be reliability problems with USB storage devices. As installing Syllable from a USB device doesn't work yet, Michael used an inventive method for installation. It can be done by imaging your Eee drive with the dd utility (from Linux), installing Syllable on it through QEmu and then dd'ing the image back to the real drive. Note that the drive number needs to be adjusted in the GrUB boot file. We are looking into distributing Syllable especially for the Eee PC in this form.

Ruling the Waves: SylCon 2008

Apr 10, 17:30

	Bas has announced the Syllable Conference 2008. Like last year's successful conference, it will be held in the Netherlands on the Frisian sailing vessel the Stêd Sleat (the former racing ship of the city of Sloten). There is limited space available. Make sure you don't miss the atmosphere, the adventure, the comradery, the Syllable presentations, the talks, the plans and the announcements in this break-through year for Syllable. Read the full announcement at the forum and enlist with Bas de Lange.

Mr Bean Strikes Again

Mar 27, 16:05

	Rohan reports that an otherwise unknown contributor going under the name Bean has rewritten the AFS filesystem driver for GrUB 2. The original driver was for GrUB 1 and was derived from the full AFS driver. This meant that the copyright could not be reassigned to the FSF, so the GrUB project didn't want to integrate the code. The new driver is much smaller and looks like it will be integrated into GrUB, so we will have a new boot loader and maintenance will become much easier. Before that happens, though, we may have to do more porting work on GrUB 2 to integrate it in our build process and installer. Here is a separate test CD that is capable of booting an existing Syllable installation on disk.

Squeak Ported to Syllable Desktop

Mar 21, 17:30

	Kelly Wilson has ported Squeak to Syllable. Squeak is a multimedia environment based on the Smalltalk programming language. There are no video and sound drivers yet that interface between Squeak and Syllable, so the Squeak graphical environment is not available yet. However, headless Squeak programs that don't need a graphical user interface run, and the screenshot shows a web site in ABrowse, produced by the Seaside web application framework.

Peep at FOSDEM

Mar 7, 20:42

	Here is a photo of the Syllable stand at FOSDEM last week, by Jesús Corrius.

Rhope Dataflow Language

Feb 23, 21:45

	Michael Pavone has created a new programming language: Rhope. It's a very interesting language that is based on dataflow and also uses transactional concepts to make parallel programming easy. Rhope is an interpreter that is available for Syllable, OS X and Windows. Mike mentions that it was for a large part developed on Syllable and that its web site runs on Syllable Desktop, on a web server and web framework programmed in Rhope itself. Rhope currently has preliminary support for programming graphical user interfaces on Syllable and Windows.

New Dutch Site

Feb 22, 15:00

	There's a new Syllable website in Dutch. It is maintained by Bas de Lange and hosted by the region Utrecht/Amersfoort of the Hobby Computer Club. The link is available here in the community panel on the left.

QEmu Ported to Syllable Desktop

Jan 28, 3:57

	QEmu has been eluding its port to Syllable Desktop, but the Syllable team has gotten this emulator to work now. The port is based on earlier work on QEmu itself and on a number of improvements that are being made to Syllable Desktop. The coming Syllable development builds will have improved support for POSIX threads, timers and async I/O. The newest QEmu version 0.9.1 runs now. There is already a binary package of QEmu 0.9.1 for Syllable Server in our downloads section. Other recent ports to Syllable Desktop include LibPurple and Finch, the text mode client of Pidgin (the former GAIM instant messaging application) and the latest version of SaMBa, 3.0.28.

New Premium and Source CDs

Jan 17, 0:17

	We published a new Premium CD for Syllable Desktop 0.6.5. As always, it's available from the Syllable shop. The complete program source code didn't fit on it any more, so we created a separate CD for that. It holds the source code for Syllable Desktop, Syllable Server and extra packages. Both CDs are also available as a download from now on, so you can choose to receive them sooner and save the shipping costs by burning your own CD.

Ghosts on Photo

Jan 13, 22:10

	Ralf Schülke published a nice photo series of BeGeistert 018. Here are some of Bas' Syllable presentation: The audience The man The man and the machine

Ghosts on Video

Jan 12, 17:17

	BeGeistert 018 is in progress, where we were graciously invited. You can see it live on this webcam. Bas is representing Syllable there and just gave a spontaneous presentation.

Good Things Coming to Those Who Wait

Jan 8, 2:22

	After an extensive development period, we released Syllable Desktop 0.6.5 with goodies all over. Of course there are bug fixes, most notably in USB and the network stack, leading to large reliability and performance improvements. LibUSB and SANE were ported, so there is now USB access from user space and support for scanners. There are new network and video drivers, including a unique S3 DeltaChrome driver that Arno wrote from scratch. Two new window decorators debut from John Aspras. CD burning ability is now integrated in the form of SimpleBurn and CDRTools. A new network preferences applet from Andrew Kennan was integrated, and also Arno's port of OpenBeFS. Many ports were upgraded and the system layout has been heavily reorganised. Files needed for compiling software have been split off in a separate package. This is also the release that harmonises a number of things between Syllable Desktop and Syllable Server. The full change log is here. Installation CDs, the upgrade, and images for emulators are here. Additional software can be found here.

New Download Section

Dec 26, 15:33

	The link to our Official Releases in the navigation panel on the left here has been replaced by a new download page of our own. After going through several download web sites in the past years, this one is meant to stay. It is fully integrated into the new content management system for the sites. We will extend it over time to add categories, main sections for Syllable Desktop and Syllable Server, and eventually, software contributed by individual developers. The current page offers some new packages that were created or ported recently. They are mainly libraries, of interest to software developers.

Second Serving

Dec 14, 16:42

	The second release of Syllable Server is now available. A number of fixes were made, most notably to terminal initialisation and printing. GhostScript is included now. Some of the Syllable-specific initialisation scripts are executed now. Many packages were updated, including GLibC, CoreUtils, BASh, ORCA and the printing packages. Several new packages were added. IPTables is included, so Syllable Server can be used to build a firewall. The wireless tools are included for configuring wireless networks. The ALSA userspace library and tools were added to provide full access to the audio system, instead of relying on OSS emulation. All separate binary software packages for Server 0.1 are still valid on Server 0.2. On Syllable, binary compatibility is maintained as much as possible. [Installation and usage instructions, change log, torrent (preferred), installation package (75 MB 7-Zip archive).] Please use the torrent if you can.

Show that you Share!

Dec 5, 16:50

	Bas will be manning a booth to present Syllable at the Show that you Share! conference in the city of Utrecht in the Netherlands on Friday, December 14 [flyer (PDF)]. The conference is about networks, communities and learning, with a focus on educational purposes. We will highlight the opportunity that Syllable offers to learn about system technology without the huge overhead that other systems bring with them (for example in code size) and the low barrier to entry for contributing to Syllable.

FOSDEM 2008

Nov 29, 14:40

	Bas is going to represent Syllable again on the FOSDEM 2008 conference in Brussels in the weekend of February 23 and 24. We will have a table to present Syllable. Please come, as it's a great gathering of free software enthusiasts, and if you want to help, please contact us.

New Slovak Site

Nov 19, 23:15

	Lukas Veselovsky has opened a web site for Syllable in Slovak. Good luck, Lukas!

Newsletter #2

Nov 11, 14:48

	Ruud has published the second issue in the new series of our Syllable Development Newsletter. It contains thirteen pages of articles, interviews and the second instalment of Kristian's programming tutorial. The newsletter is accompanied again by a software pack, rounding up seven packages that were released since the first edition.

Development Build November 4

Nov 6, 19:45

	Another development build of Syllable Desktop is ready. From now on, the development builds will be available from their own page on the new development site. A link is on the panel on the left. The caveats are the same as for the previous build.

New Development Site

Nov 4, 20:15

	This web site has been split into subsites oriented towards different audiences. A new site was created for software developers. It can be reached through the new "Subprojects/Navigation" panel on the left and contains all the content that is specific to software development on Syllable. The API references and driver tutorials are now on-line again.

There's Something Fresh in the State of Denmark

Oct 23, 23:44

	A Danish tribe is emerging from the Syllable hordes of the north. Flemming is leading his people and his turtle to a new Danish site he has split off from Syllable Norden.

Syllable Server Emulator Images

Oct 16, 16:20

	To enable you to try Syllable Server without installation, two preconfigured virtual machine images are now available. One is for VMware [torrent (preferred), image (82 MB)]. It can also be used with QEmu and VirtualBox. The other is for other emulators such as Bochs, or also QEmu [torrent (preferred), image (81 MB)]. Please note that the latter unpacks to a file of one gigabyte. The start menu of the images provides configurations for several emulators. More detailed instructions are here. Please use the torrents if you can.

An Example to Emulate

Oct 16, 0:09

	It's the melancholical season in Scandinavia, so in an attack of nostalgia, Flemming installed the last version of AtheOS in an emulator image - exactly six years after its release. For a walk down memory lane, or to peer at Syllable's roots, have a look at this screenshot of AtheOS running on Syllable. To try it yourself, we provide a VMware image that can also be used with QEmu and VirtualBox [torrent, image (11 MB)], and a raw image that can be used with Bochs and QEmu [torrent, image (11 MB)]. Please use the torrents if you can. For unpacking the files, you need 7-Zip [portable version, Windows version].

New Development Build

Oct 10, 23:58

	We are resuming the regular development builds of Syllable Desktop. The new build contains important stability fixes for USB, and enhancements to make the porting of software easier. There are fixes for making it easier to find the SDL extension libraries during the compilation of software. Configuration of packages that need PkgConfig during compilation is now supported. If you are building this software in a staging area, you also need to update Builder, which now also has support for PkgConfig. The FFMPEG codec and cURL are missing from this build due to temporary build failures. If you need them, you can copy them in from the previous development build or from Syllable 0.6.4. [Torrent, ISO, MD5 checksums.] Please use the torrent if you can.

First Syllicon!

Oct 6, 10:00

	The first development release of Syllable Server is available! It provides a text mode Linux environment, but also contains a preliminary graphical environment built on the framebuffer device, with DirectFB and SDL on top. The planned graphical environment from Syllable Desktop is not included yet. The installation procedure is short, but is still manual - and resembles the installation procedure for the old AtheOS. Included are tools such as a graphical web browser, a file manager and an editor. One thing Syllable Server is designed for is to function as a light-weight virtualisation platform for running other operating systems (or multiple instances of itself). The QEmu virtualisor/emulator is included, and the KQEmu Accelerator kernel module is integrated into the system. [Screenshot of Syllable Server running on Syllable Desktop, installation and usage instructions, torrent (80 MB), installation package (80 MB).] Please use the torrent if you can. Dutch IT journalist Brenno de Winter already published an article about the launch of Syllable Server and a podcast interview with Kaj de Vos.

New Premium CD

Oct 3, 0:00

	After a long time, we have updated the Premium CD that is available from our Lulu shop. At the time, after we released Syllable 0.6.0a, we cleaned up old library versions from the system, to bring down the size of the distribution. This meant dropping support for old binary programs, so after that, our software collection was rather limited and not sufficient to build a premium CD that would contain significantly more than the basic installation CD. Since then, we have done a lot of work on our package collection, and now we have finally made time to create a Premium CD for Syllable 0.6.4. It is filled to the brim and contains all our official packages and accompanying source code.

MLGame Ported

Sep 29, 15:00

	Our new and already prolific contributor Kelly Wilson has ported MLGame, a game programming framework for the OCaml language that makes use of Syllable's SDL subsystem. Kelly has also updated our OCaml port to the latest version, 3.10, which now has support for PThreads on Syllable for the first time.

New Russian Site

Sep 12, 19:00

	Resuming our regular news coverage, we are pleased to announce that our contributor Rohan has opened a new Syllable web site in Russian. It will be available from here in our redesigned links section, on the left.

syllable.org Mail Resumed

Sep 12, 18:46

	Mail addresses of the Syllable members at syllable.org are now operational again.

What's In a Name?

Sep 11, 23:58

	After having moved our domain name registrations to a new provider, we are now reconfiguring them for the new hosting situation. An effect of this will be that our site names www.syllable.org and syllable.org will not resolve for the coming one or two days. Don't worry, we'll be back.

Slashed to Dots

Sep 11, 8:52

	The unfolding story of our folding host has even made Slashdot.

Humpty Dumpty

Sep 10, 10:24

	If you've had a blast from the past lately, it may be because we're piecing this website back together again from anything we can find. Although our provider is one stiff parrot, we are making this into an opportunity to replace our troubled systems of the past with the improvements we had long been planning. We would like to thank those who have offered us hosting help. However, our plans have already been set in motion. The website you are reading now is replicated over the world on a distributed system. It should be well prepared for the extra visitors we are expecting when we release Syllable Server. The content management system is our own, which we are writing in REBOL as we speak. "Elluk naadeel hep sun foordeel." Johan Cruyff, after a disastrous soccer match
