To save you checking justsmil.com every other day, I decided to send out the news page every time it's updated. It's not a job I want to keep for long, though, so if there's a volunteer that wants to take over - Tim ? ------- Just SMIL: Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language JustSMIL: SMIL Status Light The SMIL Status Light Green Light Rationale: Cool tools available. More press coverage. Neat demos. Hey, go make them SMIL! [INLINE] Web Techniques Covers SMIL Updated August 6, 1998 More positive press for SMIL! The September issue of [1]Web Techniques carries an excellent SMIL introduction for the Web authoring masses. Larry Bouthillier's accompanying [2]SMIL site features the source files from his article. [3]Veon Inc has posted a public beta version of their V-Active for RealSystem G2 authoring tool. It allows developers to visually define SMIL layouts and build the presentations (including generating RealPix and RealText). The authoring tool also encodes RealVideo files from popular video formats and allows you to define hotspots in the video using their auto-tracking feature. Check the [4]V-Active Web site for more details. Veon has also announced their much awaited Veon Activation Server is in non-public beta. The Veon Activation Server dynamically generates SMIL from a relational database. That's cool! If you are interested in taking part in this limited non-public beta, contact [5]Josh Kahn, Veon Product Manager . Catch the [6]XML Developer's Conference that is being held on August 20-21 in Montreal, Canada. Lloyd Rutledge of CWI will be giving a [7]presentation on SMIL. The conference immediately follows the [8]Metastructures 98 conference where Lloyd is also giving a SMIL tutorial. Can't make it to Montreal? The CWI [9]step-by-step SMIL tutorial is now listed in the [10]Guides section. According to RealNetworks, [11]3.5 million RealPlayers were downloaded in July. While that count includes all of their players, it is still a good sign for those authoring SMIL for G2. And if you speak Portuguese, a new SMIL discussion list has just started. To subscribe send a message to [12]majordomo@flash-brasil.com.br. Use "subscribe smil-br" for the content of your message. If you don't speak Portuguese (or even if you do), please stop in and say hello in the [13]SMILZone. We're running SMILZone Lite right now but you can get an early start for when the full bulletin board system opens up. Hey, go make 'em SMIL!
