  1. other thin-client productivity software by Drone+Head · · Score: 1 · on Star Office to be Community Sourced, confirmed

    What does this deal mean for other thin-client productivity software, such as Applixware? This office suite was completely written in Java (afaik), and Applix has opened the source code. I tried the demo a few months ago, and I thought it worked pretty well, even through a 28.8 pipe.

    I've never come across any mention of Applix in the news. Anyone familiar with Applix's level of success, or with other competitors?

  2. More about SHELF of interest to /. developers by CodeShark · · Score: 1 · on Applix Release Open Source SHELF
    Looking in the FAQ for SHELF, I found the following statement:

    "Applixware and ELF use a non-standard widget system. Applix widgets are directly layered on Xlib rather than Xt or any other standard widget model. We made this choice in 1989 before Motif 1.0 was available. Our original plan was to use Motif, but the poor performance and lack of reliability of the 1.0 Beta and 1.0 FCS versions caused us to move away from them.

    At this time, Applix would be very interested in partnering with developers interested in replacing the widget system with GNOME widgets and/or other standard systems.
