OpenAJAX… finally they got it right.

Look at this list of companies working together under eclipse.org to create an open AJAX framework… a bit different from what those NorthWesterners are doing…

 http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/atf/

Those participating – impressive…

• IBM
• Google
• BEA Systems
• Red Hat
• Borland Software
• Novell
• Oracle
• Yahoo
• Zend Technologies (PHP)
• Zimbra (email)
• Openwave Systems (telco)
• Eclipse Foundation
• Mozilla Corporation
• Dojo Foundation

You can read more at Cnet here. I’m impressed – with this many people we should see a beta in a few days right… or will this be another person months = square of the number of programmers…
