Hi,

  May I quote Simon St.Laurent from a xml-dev post
from April 2000:

<quote>
Has anyone taken a close look at Mozilla's XUL (XML
User Interface Language) and considered using it for
projects outside of Mozilla?

I'd be interested in hearing what folks think about
XUL in general, and thoughts about its use outside
Mozilla in particular.

Well, you might wonna check out Luxor. Here's the
"official" blurb:

Luxor is an open-source XML User Interface Language
(XUL) toolkit in Java that supports handpicked Mozilla
XUL goodies and includes a web server, a portal engine
(supporting RSS), a template engine (Velocity), a
scripting interpreter (Python) and more.

For a quick tour may I suggest the
all-in-one-HTML-page (no PowerPoint, thank you) talk
slides (50+) entitled "Luxor: The 'Linux Kernel' for
Desktop Apps - Uniting XUL, SVG, HTML, Velocity, Web
Start, XSL/T, Python and more" @
http://luxor-xul.sourceforge.net/talk/vanx-jul-2002/slides.html

  Any thoughts?

  - Gerald
