In spite of the fact that we ran it down to the infamous but typical one-man-show again (yeah, I'll happily ignore any form of excuse, so son't spend time making one up; and no, I don't have any expectations any longer), following things have been added/done/achieved recently:
- we have new hardware (thanks to Mario for the ware and the time and effort it took to set it up) for the testbed
- we have an up-to-date build running on the testbed
- I have fixed some initial policy problems, and I am working on a better policy initialization
- I have added a bank service, so users may have accounts and we have the old system in place (eg. awards for posting, casino runs against your account)
- I have been working on the documentation, generating a standard specification document using ANT and our OBR repository descriptor
- I fixed a bunch of bugs
- I have been working on the EMPP client, specifically the XHTML/CSS styled output panel using Flying Saucer R7. I posted on this one some while ago, but actually it was followed by some work with the FS people (thanks especially to Peter) and a modified but leakless R7 based implementation
- I have been working on the import of the jkara fora, which is progressing slowly, because there are all kind of traps with the contents (e.g. KML, Control Characters, Entities, etc). I am also not familiar with the jkara database, so I am making up the best mapping on the go.
Guess that pretty much summarizes it.

Hi Dieter,
Interesting read. I was the original poster about the chat use case on the FS mailing list. We actually ended up having incorrect GUI thread usage that fixed our problem it seems on R7 pre1. I have noticed that the chat window takes a bit long to appear sometimes, so I might still dig into your results more when I have time to revisit this functionality. I am also interested in trying the scrollbar.
The only problems we have now are:
1.) Copying text does not work.
2.) Transparency is ignored for PNG images.
These issues may already be fixed in HEAD, but if you happen to end up finding a solution I would certainly be interested in a follow up post.
Chris
Chris,
I think you may want to switch to the HEAD, given that pre1 seems to have a bunch of memory leaks that will quickly lead into OutOfMemory problems.
Now, I am working on the copying text problem, because this is something we need to figure out how to do. The transparency issue you may want to post to the mailing list, I think that they are pretty responsive and may help you on that one.
I am trying to put together a standalone demo, so I guess that there will be some update on this soon.
Dieter
