REBOL: in the works
ORCA: check

what is the state of orca?  still in development?
Kaj

Lower latency than Linux: check (not perfect yet)
We have a new audio framework in userspace, but our scheduler still 
needs to be improved
Graham

postgresql or mysql also pretty much required
Kaj

ORCA is dormant, but in use, so development will wake up again one 
day
No bigger databases yet. Someone tried PostreSQL and we ran into 
a porting snag for the moment being

Anyone porting Firefox?
the thing is ... the browser is becoming the dominant platform now
Kaj

Been tried, but too difficult for the moment being. It's humongous
We need to do this step by step

Kaj that's great to hear about audio. I'm going to check Syllable 
again once my new GFX card arives (it's not working my my old one).
Kaj

But we have an announcement in that direction, too :-)
Still not working with your card?
Graham

is the Syllable LivePC being updated?

it was matrox millenium 2mb, I'm probably the last one still using 
it ;)
but I should have a new one next week
Kaj

The LivePC, forgot about that one already. It's contributed, so I 
guess not. We are releasing a VMWare image ourselves, now, though

Is javascript fully supported in the browser?
Kaj

[870x3]
As far as I know, yes
But, announcement next week :-)
(There are always snags with parts of browser functionality)
Graham

no antivirus software?
clam AV?
Kaj

[875]
We don't have viruses :-)

KHTML browser should be easier to port.
Kaj
15-Jun-2007
[877]
Such as Linux anti-virus would probably not be hard to port
Graham
15-Jun-2007
[878]
No, you may not have viruses, but you also don't want to send attachments 
that do ...

I wonder about your comment - REBOL in the works, Orca (check). What 
do you mean by that? Isn't Orca the only Rebol awailable to you?
Kaj
15-Jun-2007
[880]
Our browser has been based on KHTML for six or seven years - years 
before Apple did it
Graham

wait for next week
LOL

Graham - it surely can't come with everything from the very beginning 
:-)

Come to the conference. I can bring you Autumn to listen :-)
Graham
15-Jun-2007
[885x2]
I'm getting a status report!
conference is in Dutch?
Pekr
15-Jun-2007
[887]
Autumn to listen? Don't understand, sorry :-)
Kaj
15-Jun-2007
[888]
I guess we'll speak English
Graham

takes advantage of multicore processors?

Gathering, Autumn
Yes, SMP design from the beginning, and we fixed the implementation 
last year
BeOS model

the 10 second boot is very appealing
if the other stuff is there too!
Kaj
15-Jun-2007
[895]
Yeah, it's like a carrot that is dangling just too far :-)
Pekr

MorphOS booting still faster though. Version 2.0 close to release. 
Hopefully it has native tcp/ip stack at least now :-)
Kaj

Watch the announcement, though :-)
