After posting to this list to see if it is appropriate and getting good
feedback, I'm posting an announcement I think is very relative to this list
as I have been using PHP ever since it was a Perl script (PHP/FI) and have
been heavily influenced by it's concept and evolution when creating what I
am announcing. So the announcement is the launch of something I have been
working on in my spare time for a long time and what I believe will be a
logical next step in Internet development - ModBox an "Open Platform as a
Service" (OPaaS). Ok, what the #@#$ is OPaaS? OPaaS is PaaS, but open. Think
Force.com/Google App Engine/Amazon EC2 - but open. Really open. Not fake
open like so much other BS services that try to lock you in. In a nutshell,
ModBox is a Web-based distributed development environment that is completely
neutral in every way. So, you can use any infrastructure you want, any
programming language, any server, any OS, any database, etc. to
create/distribute applications. Also, because ModBox works over standard
HTTP, you can incorporate existing applications or web services into the
applications you create. ModBox brings all the pieces together seemlessly
for programmers and users. I hope I have borrowed the best ideas from IDE's,
RAD, frameworks, Web services grid/cloud computing and Open Source to make a
logical ecosystem which puts a much needed front-end/face on all of it. This
list is the first place I have announced ModBox and I welcome you to Rock
the Box and let me know if it makes as much sense to you as it does to me. I
would, of course greatly appreciate any feedback as I am not so bold to
think I have cracked the code on the 1.0. The URL is below.

The first post was accidently posted within the "PHP List Advice" thread, not as a new post/thread as it should have been. That thread was to make sure it would be ok to post, this is the actual post :) When I saw the orginal post was buried within the "PHP List Advice" thread, I realized I needed to post it as new thread. However, thanks for the heads up and if I am missing something, please let me know.
