Re: RPG from IBM's Perspective

Hello Larry,

If you are looking for a physical location to host your XML project,
please let me know and we would be happy to provide you with a web
address where you could host your project.

Alternatively maybe someone like Scott Klement or the Easy400 site would
host it.

We already host a FREE packaging of the Tomcat Server for iSeries.

Feel free to contact me if this makes sense to you.

Regards,
Richard Schoen

The problem is not with IBM, it is the simple fact that as a community
we build our tools and keep them to ourselves. That is not because we
are selfish but a simple reflection of the fact that the software is
owned by the companies we work for and we don't have permission to
opersource it. Well actually I do have clearance to opensource my XML
generation and XML templating code as I built it on a community site and
"donated" it to my employer. We agreed that any further enhancements
done on work time can be included in the opensource version. So I will
concede that I am also part of the problem.

It is sadly only a few good members of our commmunity who share so
lavishly. Scott being the most generous with his time and effort.

I would like to contribute to the "Save IBM's Development Funds"
community project - is there anybody out there who is willing to host my
XML generation and XML templating tool, complete with user documentation
and examples? I will also talk to my colleagues to see if there is any
other non-sensitive Java/RPG code we could provide to the community,
particularly in the web space.
