News and Editorials
The Mozilla 1.0 Manifesto Brendan Eich has published The [14]Mozilla
1.0 manifesto, and the document is currently open for comment.
The document aims to answer a number of questions concerning the
upcoming Mozilla 1.0 release:
* What: Mozilla 1.0 would be the first major version numbered
release. The release would include promises to maintain
compatibility with a number of APIs from which to build upon. The
release would also involve a stable branch off of the
cvs.mozilla.org trunk.
* Why: There is a need for a stable long-lived branch of Mozilla. If
Mozilla.or does not create such a branch, it will be done by
others, and the result would be unnecessary fragmentation. There
is still a need for a 1.0 management plan, input is being
accepted.
* How: There is a need for big-fixing milestones. There is also a
need for reducing the bug count to "near-zero". The plan is to
obtain a stable, long-lived branch. The plan involves obtaining
version 1.0 through a small number of milestones. Developers are
being asked to schedule their bug fixes within the boundaries of
those milestones. The focus will be on stability, not new
features. Commercially contributed features are to be synchronized
with the milestones, and may be isolated with CVS branches or
#ifdef statements.
* When: There is a strong desire among Mozilla developers to achieve
1.0 "sooner than later". There is a desire to obtain a stable
branch and offer a release "within six months". Again, the
emphasis will be on attaining stability more than new features.
* Who? Brendan Eich will get the final say on what goes into version
1.0. He will delegate layers to various other people. "First in
the line of delegation, judgment, and consensus are staff and
drivers, who in turn depend on porkjockeys, reviewers, module
owners, bug assignees, QA contacts, triagers, and other members of
the community." Bugs are being nominated for fixing by version
1.0, and guidelines have been given for that bug status.
If the 1.0 release process succeeds, Mozilla will have obtained a new
level of stability, and should be a solid platform upon which to build
further extensions. Of course, what open source project would be
complete without an [15]official party as part of the schedule.

Building a Large-scale E-commerce Site with Apache and mod_perl
(Perl.com). Perrin Harkins writes about [28]large scale E-commerce on
Perl.com. "Application server vendors will insist that you need a
packaged all-in-one solution for the software. Hardware vendors will
tell you that you need the top-of-the-line mega-machines to run a
large site. This is a story about how we built a large e-commerce site
using mainly open-source software and commodity hardware. We did it,
and you can do it, too."
Webalizer Version 2.01-09 released. Version 2.10-09 of the Webalizer

Norbert Bollow; it gives an overview of some of the initiatives within
the DotGNU project and how they are progressing.
Writing DLLs for Linux apps (IBM developerWorks). Allen Wilson
[32]talks about DLL equivalents under Linux. "Plugins and DLLs are
often a great way to add functionality without writing a whole new
application. In Linux, plugins and DLLs are implemented as dynamic
libraries. e-business consultant and architect Allen Wilson introduces
dynamic libraries and shows you how to use them to change an
application after the app is running."

last July's 0.54 release. (Thanks to Fred Mobach.)
Java
Learning Command Objects and RMI (O'Reilly). William Grosso, [75]talks
about Java command objects in an O'Reilly article. "In this article, I
introduce the basic ideas behind command objects. In order to do so, I
drag in an example application that provides a translation service
from a remote server. After introducing this application, I will show
how to use command objects to structure the remote method invocations
(RMI) made from a client program. As part of this article, I will
introduce a fairly general framework for encapsulating remote method
calls in command objects."
Threading lightly : Sometimes it's best not to share (IBM
developerWorks). Brian Goetz [76]discusses Java threading details on
IBM's developerWorks. " Writing thread-safe classes is difficult. It
requires a careful analysis of not only the conditions under which
variables will be read or written, but also of how the class might be
used by other classes. Sometimes, it is very difficult to make a class
thread-safe without compromising its functionality, ease of use, or
performance. Some classes retain state information from one method
invocation to the next, and it is difficult to make such classes
thread-safe in any practical way."
Perl
Perl Debugging for Beginners (O'Reilly). John Callender [77]talks
about Perl debugging in an O'Reilly article. "Debugging is a
specialized skill and it takes practice to become adept at it.
Debugging is somewhat like car repair; an experienced mechanic can ask
a few questions, listen to the engine for a second, and immediately
tell you what's wrong with your car and what it will take to fix it.
Meanwhile, a novice mechanic will pull apart the transmission when the
real problem is a broken light on the dashboard."
P5EE Project, Mailing List Started (use Perl). A new mailing list has
been set up [78]to discuss P5EE, a Perl API that is similar to Java's
J2EE.
Perl 6 : Not Just For Damians (Perl.com). Piers Cawley [79]looks at
the differences between Perl 5 and Perl 6 on Perl.com.
PHP
PHP Weekly Summary for October 22, 2001. The [80]October 22, 2001
edition of the PHP Weekly Summary is out. Topics include: "Extension
authors, PHP on Netware, PHP 4.1.0 RC 1, PHP for Win32 via Cygwin, PHP
and MySQL 4.0.0, ext/skel, CVS reorganization, fix to snapshots, new
'overload' extension."
PHP-GTK 0.1.1 released. A new version of PHP-GTK [81]is available,
with [82]lots of changes.
Peeking at Pear (O'Reilly). Chris Coleman [83]examines Pear. "If you
have ever programmed in Perl, chances are you have heard of CPAN, the
Comprehensive Perl Archive Network. As you know, it's an easy way to
add functionality to Perl. Most Perl programmers can't see how they
ever lived without it.
PHP has a similar capability. It's called Pear: the PHP Extension and
Add-On Repository. Pear is a framework and distribution system for
reusable PHP components.
"
Python
Python 2.2.b1 released. The first beta of Python 2.2 has been
[84]released. See the announcement for a description of what's new.
This week's Python-URL. [85]Dr. Dobb's Python-URL for October 24 is
out, with the latest from the Python development community.
PyXPCOM - Python bindings for Mozilla XPCOM technology. ActiveState
[86]has announced the first release of the Python bindings for the
Mozilla XPCOM (Cross-Platform COM) technology. "Although this is the
first public release of these extensions, they are being used
extensively in the Komodo project, ActiveState's cross- platform,
multilanguage IDE based on Mozilla. Thus the functionality and
stability of this package is remarkably high for a first release."
This project is being released under the Mozilla Public License (MPL).
Ruby
This week on the Ruby Garden. The latest topics on [87]the Ruby Garden
include discussions on #exception, Python modules for Ruby, and more.
Smalltalk
OOPSLA 2001 Trip report. John McIntosh [88]summarizes the events at
the OOPSLA 2001 Smalltalk conference.
"Some of the questions to ask ourselves are:
What to do with the 17 year old geek Linux kids, how do we reach them,
what do we say?
Why do I have five spell checkers on my machine, but none accessible
from email?"
Tcl/Tk
This week's Tcl-URL. Here's [89]Dr. Dobb's Tcl-URL for October 22,
with the latest from the Tcl/Tk development community.
Tcl/Tk 8.3.4 Final Release. Version 8.3.4 of the Tcl language and Tk
toolkit [90]has been announced. This release features lots of bug
fixes, patches, and improved HURD support. (Thanks to David Welton.)
XML
An introduction to SyncML (IBM developerWorks). Scott Stemberger
[91]looks at SyncML, an open industry spec for data synchronization.
"In recognition of the fact that as the number of unique devices and
the desire to access different enterprise resources proliferates, the
SyncML initiative was formed to provide a uniform synchronization
protocol for connecting multiple devices over any network to any data
store. This article provides an overview of the open industry
specification for data synchronization -- SyncML -- designed to meet
the needs of the mobile user and their any-device, any-network
synchronization needs."
Effective XML processing with DOM and XPath in Perl (IBM
developerWorks). Parand Tony Darugar [92]examines DOM and Xpath on
IBM's developerWorks. "Based on an analysis of several large XML
projects, this article examines how to make effective and efficient
use of DOM. Developer/author Tony Daruger provides a set of usage
patterns and a library of functions to make DOM robust and easy to
use. Though the DOM offers a flexible and powerful means for creating,
processing, and manipulating XML documents, some aspects of DOM make
it awkward to use and can lead to brittle and buggy code. This article
suggests ways to avoid the pitfalls. Perl code samples demonstrate the
techniques."
The Slippery Soap (O'Reilly). Martin Gudgin and Timothy Ewald [93]look
at SOAP on O'Reilly's XML.com. "SOAP 1.1 has become a de facto
standard, with broad industry support from many vendors, large and
small, providing client and server implementations. The specification
defines a set of conventions for exchanging XML messages, including
rules for encoding data structures, an extensibility mechanism, a
binding to the HTTP protocol, and conventions for RPC style
invocations."
