Open Source F3: Where and When?

There have been quite a few comments to my postings asking when F3 will be publicly available.

For the record, I actually inadvertently made F3 public. I was just testing out my weblog. I thought it would reside in obscurity for the time being.

Since it was noticed I've tried to provide as much information about F3 as was feasible in the context of a weblog.

I can definitely tell you where you'll find open source F3 development, namely here: https://f3.dev.java.net. This project exists, however it's still private and doesn't contain the source code yet.

I don't have an exact date when it will be publicly accessible, but if I had to make a guess I'd say February 2007 is likely.

So, there you go. Thanks for your patience.

Oh, that sounds like great news to me! I can't await to get my hands on it. Until then, can you tell us anything about the requirements? I cannot find information about the required JRE version, other than what the JNLP files say (1.5+).

To wait till February will be difficult, but to know that it will be available then is great !!
