webapplica.org

Posted by aaronjudd May 29, 2007

Webapplica.org is a new community site, where we are bringing over documentation and ideas from our old coolerserver.org project site, and re-organizing the content to support more than one project. After almost a year of development we had to face the fact that our (formely one) project had forked into two entirely seperate projects.

The first, is a new release of Coolerserver, which is our current software platform. This release will be Coolerserver V2.0 and will include a completely rewritten front end (website side) and significant upgrades to the Coolerserver administration tools.

The second project, a new product, is Arcticfusion Version 1.0. Arcticfusion is platform to deliver a Web 2.0 workspace that unifies all the applications a business may require in a single business-custom browser based work environment. Potential initial Arcticfusion applications are: Accounting, Inventory Management, Web Content Management, Task Manager, Instant Messengering, Calendar Integration, Partner Feed Management.. there is really no limit, this is just naming a few applications already under development!

As we are in the process of building a new project site, that combines all our development activity, please don't mind the under construction aspects - you'll still find lots of information, including links to demo's of versions under development. Please give us feedback. We'd love to hear from you!

I know most reading this are probably curious to know what this actually looks like:
Live, running on a OSX Server, Tomcat, Postgresql / Pre Alpha Release

http://www.webapplica.org:8080/workspace/laszlo/test/desktop.lzx

Currently no password, we'll post it in this forum if we enable one.
This is just a test case, and not the entire application, and changes frequently.

Interesting Sites

Posted by aaronjudd May 21, 2007

Posting the first blog entry is sort of a rough task, because it feels a little bit like an assignment in a writing class. I guess I should do all sorts of things, like tell you about Arctic Fusion (RIA Project to bring all other projects together and deliver peace to the world). I could tell you about the team (10 people full timers in United States Philippines, and Brazil). I should tell you that we have been at this for a while, (5 years), and how this is the perfection of our experience trying to build a RIA that brought business tasks together, but realistically, this is still just the beginning.

Well, I am not going to tell you about all those things, but rather, I am going to do what I think blogs are for:... rambling about some interesting things (to me) that I am seeing or thinking about.. usually related to the Arctic Fusion Project.

I thought I would start off with a list of sites that I have been looking at a lot lately. They are either sites that I think may have competing ideas, or maybe they are just plain expressing interesting ideas.. or maybe they are just interesting.

Check these out:
The Universal Desktop
Outsmart Labs
TechCrunch
Effective UI
ReadWriteWeb
DesktopTwo

I KNOW I have left out quite a few that I visit often, and I will add them when I hit them, but in the meantime I would love to hear of others you think are worth looking at!
