Re: It will take a company of yahoo's size....
It does not take big guys to get things moving. Open source small time programmers can get wide adoption. Look at Qmail, TMDA, Apache, Bind, FreeBSD and all the others. People use the technology and it did not take Microsoft to do it (Or Yahoo). Some of the above did get some nice funding but some did not. Many true open source developers come up with some pretty nice stuff with little or no funding and no press.
If it is a good idea it will be adopted, just like many other things. |

Thats not my point, everyone should adopt this technology. I just was making a statement that for the technology to get off the cutting room floor, there needs a big backer to do so. If yahoo wants to attempt to initiate a new standard they actually have the ability to do so.
