We had a wonderful rollout yesterday at De Anza College in Cupertino CA. http://pikebeta.userland.com/ This morning I'm watching hundreds of xml-rpc messages going thru the logs on my server, people debating the merits of Pike, some enjoying the new power they're getting, others complaining about firewalls and caching servers. At least we're living this, as opposed to waiting for it. Key point for members of the xml community -- this is your technology in action. It's 100 percent built on xml-rpc. A totally web-based *desktop* application. Compatible tools and servers are easy, the protocol is open, we welcome compatible competition on both ends. I'd love to see WordPad for Manila, or BBEdit or Emacs, Dreamweaver and Photoshop. Or Epinions being Pike-compatible. http://www.xmlrpc.com/stories/storyReader$700 One person yesterday asked why we were releasing Pike when we want so many other tools. Gotta create updraft, I said. Remember, MacWrite was the first word processor for Macs, but it wasn't the last one. I think that yesterday The Two-Way Web took a step towards being more real. There will be lots more days like yesterday in the coming days.

We're organizing a meeting for developers in mid-April in California, along with a few other companies that are interested in this area. Dave
