Projects Sep 5 2005

Quick update on the billion projects I’m working on (ok, slight exaggeration). I posted last week on the Mono mailing list looking for more dev’s to join the Amber project; with the grand total of one e-mail reply, and a possible new member of the team, at least the project is progressing (one new member is better than zero!). Meanwhile, I’m currently working on unifying much of the re-usable code amongst my numerous projects, as I want to now base many of my projects with an open source framework/library. I then have an open source project that will be built upon that (xSh, wiki/website pending), and a couple of ideas for platforms and systems that will be built on top of that same framework also. While the framework will always remain open source, some of the ideas I have that will build upon that source could well turn out to be proprietary pieces of software, commercial ventures so to speak; although I’m yet to decide on that. Depends on how good I really think each idea is I guess ;-)
