Brian Ryner (bryner) brings us the news that he and the Mozilla XForms team "released a beta version of the XForms plugin for Firefox and Seamonkey" Yours truely spoke with Mr. Ryner at length about this release and here's some of what he had to say.
ad So, tell us about this beta release.
br Everyone put in long hours -- that would be Darin, Doron, Aaron, Allan and Olli; we're exhausted but we're pleased to have achieved this milestone.
ad After people install this plug-in, how is their browsing experience changed?
br It's probably not. This release is really something that will be mostly appreciated by forward looking web developers. That's the audience we're looking for with this beta.
ad When can we expect the next release? Will it be a final release? Will it be bundled with any of the Mozilla applications?
br The next release isn't scheduled yet but we'll most likely have at least one more non-final release. At this point, it doesn't look like we'll be seeing XForms bundled with the upcoming Mozilla product releases. However, we will be working to have installable plug-ins that are compatible with the major releases.
ad Thanks for taking some time out of your busy schedule. I'm sure that our readers appreciate that.
br No problem. Think this'll make slashdot ;-)
