Re: The Venice Project

Where did you get that screen shot

There's nothing on their site, in fact it's extremely vague.

These sort of tease postings are really fricking annoying.

Re: The Venice Project

Alex, what is "<xul:sprite>"? I have to admit that I have never heard of sprites so far when it comes to XUL (probably because I'm ignorant). Do you have pointers to more information? Thank you!

Re: The Venice Project

You can make something like that with XULRunner? What have I been missing...

ld: As ludo says, something we implemented for the tvp user interface, and which we will be feeding back to Mozilla at some point.

Feeding back to Mozilla? That's great, I have no idea what a is, but it sounds really cool.

Re: The Venice Project

This looks like a open source, extensible, html hacker-friendly (due to XUL as the basis) HTPC front end.

If that is the case, I am not too worried about whatever plans they have for commercial integrations and so on. That core sounds very flexible for non-commercial, community development of a great HTPC program.

Are we talking about the Firefox equivalent to Windows MCE and TiVo ware etc?

Re: The Venice Project

Firefox is a commercial project

There business model is based on Google search ;)
