Sparkle, moderately Slashdotted

An article posted Monday on Slashdot, led to a minor slashdot effect in the comments section on the WVG page (found at the very bottom).

Nothing really new there other than the “why not just use the open standard?” complaints.  I'm thinking that is they would have read some more of the documentation that'd see the WVG is going to allow for a lot more than what SVG can do.

In addition , jafro_svg mentioned that Sparkle was really just WVG.  But if I am understanding the currently running rumors, Sparkle will be the Authorware for some aspect of WVG.  I don't know, maybe that was just me who said that...

Disclaimer: I am not one who normally enjoys dissecting rumors or public conjecture, but this just seems like a fun topic and I can't find much mention of Sparkle right now, so why not build the buzz with what I do find.

This was talked about on the svg-developers Yahoo Group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers/ . Hopefully I set them straight: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers/message/37161 . I don't really care what some ignorant people say on Slashdot, I just didn't want the people that read the svg-developers group to only hear the FUD from Slashdot.

Good, I knew you'd be in there fighting for the cause :)

I also just found this post by Joe Beda which addresses some of the issues too: http://www.eightypercent.net/Archive/2003/11/04.html#a153

I'm sure you already read it, but I thought I'd post it here for anyone else who might be interested.
