The current release includes a CGI module, an Apache configuration module and several salability improvements. It is a beta 1, quite stable but it may/will still contain a few bugs. The README is a bit outdated and the code could use more comments... :) The code It is released under an Open Source license very much in the spirit of Sun/Solaris, Apple/Darwin, etc., but less restrictive. Basically (for what I have been explained by our lawyers :) the license says that: 1) you can peruse the code for your own use and/or research in any way you like, 2) you can use X15 for your own non commercial use (i.e., you can have the fastest family reunion pictures website of the planet), 3) if you want to use the software for any commercial exploitation you have to buy a license from Chromium Communications, 4) if you make changes they belong to you, but if you send them back to us than you agree to not claim anything for them. You can get the sources from: http://www.chromium.com/cgi-bin/crosforum/YaBB.pl or (when the DNS gets propagated) from: http://source.chromium.com/ Our source site sports one of those nifty sourceforge-like interfaces for discussions, bug reports and whatever, I'd prefer you to use that instead of sending email directly to me or to this list. I'll build a proper "product" web page and add more documentation in the next few days. - Fabio
