Dear community,
=20
We are very glad to hear from you and receive your early feedback about the=
ISIS-NBP project.
=20
We seize this opportunity to further explain the nature of the ISIS-NBP pro=
ject, and try to mend the beginnings of a misconception.
=20
We have started to publish these series of nuggets about ISIS-NBP to give y=
ou early insight about the platform still *under development*. Our motivati=
on is mainly transparency.
=20
This community is surely composed by ISIS users, consultants and developers=
. Each type of user has a different needs and expectations, and we are well=
aware of that. Therefore, we must state, as clearly as possible, that:=20
ISIS-NBP is still in its infancy; Bireme?s prevision is to launch a beta ve=
rsion by the end of this year, and a full grown package the first semester =
of next year.
For the time being, ISIS-NBP is a platform for the development of applicati=
ons. Not an application in itself, the same as IsisDll, or IsisScript or ww=
wisis are not applications either. We are trying hard to make it an excelle=
nt platform for development, so developers adopting it will have resources =
available to create excellent applications;
There are future plans to embed an application inside ISIS-NBP Cell, so it =
becomes self-sufficient for end users. But our priority is to lay down soli=
d foundations where new applications can be built upon.=20
Having said that, we expect that you will think your expectations about ISI=
S-NBP under a new light.=20
=20
If ISIS-NBP were a building, it would be only natural that people would be =
anxious to see an innovative architectural external design, or how it is fu=
rnished and decorated. As it is also natural when they are turned down to s=
ee blueprints, the plumbing and wiring. But these things matter. We will ke=
ep on spreading nuggets about ISIS-NBP, and we expect you will keep giving =
us such honest feedback.=20
=20
best regards,=20
