Simon Phipps's personal commentary

Great to see Mitch Kapor back in action again. I was never an Agenda user I admit, but I am hungry for a platform-neutral connected PIM so his new PIM project (complete with an all-star cast) is very welcome - Dan Gillmor has more.

I'd always hypothesised that the marketplace would spontaneously react to fill the void created by a software monopoly and the recent buzz of activity (this, OpenOffice.org, Evolution, etc etc) suggests that the superior technocracy produced by the open source methodology is spawning a new wave, just when Microsoft thought they had won. A battle royal is in the making, although the usual repurposing of language is in full swing in Redmond, with shared source (they let you look but not touch, unless you are harmless) and community development (only in Mordor though) on their lips.
