Aaron,

Thanks for stepping up to the plate for IBM i and open source. I will look
over the project in sourceforge. I'm not sure how much time I could commit
to the effort but anything I can do I will.

On a separate but related note, I'll mention your efforts in my year-end
newsletter to the iManifest groups. Maybe we can get you some more corporate
buy-in. :-)

All the best,
Jeff Olen

Hi all,

I am in the process of developing a GPL v3 (open source/free) framework
that
is titled RPGUI. You can find more information about it on my site:
http://mowyourlawn.com/rpgui.html

The purpose of this email is to see if there are others out there that
would
be willing to donate specific portions of code to the effort. I have
detailed two of my current needs below. The obvious requirement would be
that the code can be released into the public space without any strings
attached. I haven't gone into intense details as I figure if you have
developed such a piece of code you would know what I am talking about. If
these items are too vague then I can expound on them.

---"CGI Router" ---
This code would be able to receive a request from the browser and
correspondingly send the request to a job waiting on a data queue. The job
waiting on the data queue is more or less simulating an EXFMT. The data
queue would be keyed and the job would wait for a specific entry. After
the
CGI Router wrote an entry to the data queue it would immediately wait for a
subsequent response on the same data queue using the same unique key.

---"Intermediary Data Holder"---
When a request comes in from the browser I will have a generic program
"parse" the data and place it into a location that will be accessible by
the
job waiting on the aforementioned data queue. I could use DB2 tables, but
that is potentially a lot of extra DB I/O for each request/response trip
to/from the browser. I was thinking that user spaces or user indexes would
be the way to go. Whatever the mechanism, it will need to have indexing
capabilities so pieces of information can be retrieved fast (think of a
name-value-pair array).


Thanks in advance to anyone that is willing to donate,
Aaron Bartell
