The way open source development works you scratch
you own itch. If you need better server support
you do that, if you need better desktop clients
you do that.
This is no crusade against Microsoft. It is a better way of developing software.
The greatest "technology" about war was written
by Sun Tzu about 2000 years ago. It is very much
up to date and definitive reading for anybody
serious about waging war.
What are the aims of this war ? Will we really
manage to wipe out the murderers or will we be looked up on as murderers and just increase the
risk of more bloodshed ?
Maybe this war could have been won without using
bombs at all ? By addressing the real issues instead. It is worrying to see that Osama bin Laden actually is gaining new supporters these days, it seems to be me that the US is doing exactly what he wanted them to do.
Food for thought. Maybe bin Laden is the guy who
is using technology to his advantage in this war ?
I've been using Dynamo extensively myself since January 1998. Your comments does not fit in with my experience at all.
I've seen quite a few developers get very productive in Dynamo environment after just a week of training. How can this come if it is so complex - clean architecture and good documentation helps you get your job done.
As for the development cycle Dynamo doesn't force you into anything. You _choose_ your development cycle, if you choose something that doesn't work that's your problem. I've been working on all kinds of projects with Dynamo, from small one man part time projects to large projects with multiple developer teams(with each team consisting of 2-8 developers).
The reliability is a result of your software configuration management, you shouldn't blame Dynamo here either. In fact the configuration system of Dynamo goes a long way to help you build reliable and flexible system configurations. I wrote Bean Directory for the open sourced Locomotive application server with inspiration from Dynamo. Check http://www.locomotive.org/.
I agree that you should never buy into anybody that claims a product to be "The Silver Bullett"[Ref: The Mythical Man Month]. You should consider your entire architecture, and I have found Dynamo to be component that is easy to integrate into your architecture. The main reason is the nice horizontal architecture of Dynamo. It doesn't force you to use specific tools like some other vertical solutions do.

I justed tested Salon from two different boxes.
Netscape 4.7 on Linux and I got no jump through add, but with IE 5 on NT I got the jump through
add.
Anybody else noticed this ?

Think I'll rather stick to Java as that provides me with a robust framework for creating scalable
server side applications.
