Hi all,
I am still alive as well! Sorry I haven't shown more signs of life but
I have to admit that metacosm was somewhat put in the background for me
(as it seems it has been for most of you as well or am I wrong in
assuming that?)...

Hi,
after a long silence, some news about Metacosm:
- it compiles with gcj-3.3 (Makefile updated)
Cool.
- there is still a GPL violation with Xerces (Apache Public License),
and
anyway Xerces is unneeded (replaced by libgcj). So some cleaning about
Xerces is needed. (at least META-INF/MANIFEST-controlpanel.MF,
META-INF/MANIFEST-metacosm.MF, META-INF/MANIFEST-zheroez.MF, INSTALL,
build.xml, controlPanel.properties,
org/metacosm/framework/server/AdminCommandStreamParser.java)
I have never been really interested in this licensing issues since I
see them as hinderance and they were actually partly why I couldn't be
bothered with metacosm anymore. I like open source and the GPL but not
when it gets in the way of getting the job done... Anyway, I guess this
is not really important for me to say that now! :)
- references to Piccolo removed (no need for Piccolo)
...
- metacosm.org domain. "Expiration Date:02-Sep-2003 17:17:47 UTC"
I am still the owner of the domain name and we don't currently use it
since Savanna doesn't provide DNS redirection as SF was doing so I
don't really see the point of renewing the domain name for metacosm
itself unless we find a way to make use of the domain. More
importantly, we should make sure that there are still people interested
in working on the project...
