To fans of UserLand Software it must seem inevitable that the kernel will go this way, it sure did to me. But I am on the board of directors of the company, and I persuaded my fellow board members that it would be in the company's interest to let the kernel develop separately from the products that build on it. And that's what I want to announce today. At some point in the next few months, there will be an open source release of the Frontier kernel. Not sure what license it'll use. There won't be any grand expectations of what kind of community will develop. Even if no bugs get fixed, if no features get added, if no new OSes are supported, it will be worth it, because its future will be assured.

One of our major design goals is to provide blog readers with a tool that will allow them to follow a conversation that takes place over the course of days or weeks on many different sites. Current blog readers can follow these conversations because they are active participants in the conversations and can follow the conversation as it occurs. However, once a blog entry is no longer the current topic of debate, the conversation becomes lost in the archives. We would like our tool to effectively display the relationships between entries and topics amongst bloggers to anyone who desires this information.
