What is wrong?

(Simple examples: “2.0 faq”, “how to install”, “how to upgrade”, “known issues”, …?)

@Skilly: Our objective is to avoid locking eyeos 2.0 into any restrictive definition. The current preview with its configuration doesn’t look like the desktop of eyeos 1.x. But it will possible to change that by configuration in the future. You’ll be able to get your desktop, icons and everything back again from your old web-desktop

VERY IMPORTANT REMARK: The current version is almost NOT STYLED AT ALL. Only a few items have what should be the “final skin”. For the rest, it’s just the default appearance from Qooxdoo, but it will be replaced progressively.

Also, I really hope its not too difficult to work with DBs other the MySQL (not my first choice) as well backwards compatibility with the old FS as has been stated in these replies.

@Alex: yes it is very nice to see such grand innovation in a new major build, unlike most companies who just replace a few icons and claim 300% improvement.

Very much looking forward to eyeOS in 2010.
Good luck to everyone from the eyeOS Team ^_^

S.

I read the post again and again , and I’m really impress of the solidness of your technological choices.

1.x was a nice , a very nice version , but time has changing a lot since 2007 and we are not any more in a time for a “proof o concept”. With all the challenge of the Cloud Computing, we are now in business time, where big organisations need stonger platform, in particular with :
- deeper admin part,
- especially the UM part which was so basic in 1.x
- more ability to share stuff between user,
- a kernel though as a modular part, to be able to tune it, improve it easly

I forgot more points , I know, but I focuss on those 4 witch are the 4 big lacks of the 1.x, making it “out of the game” for many big project. Like all other solutions we’ve studied, especially the OSS ones, I must reconize : eyeOS was always the best choice, but not the perfect solution.

I have to admit than the continuing improve of the of 1.x series is really impressiv : what you reach, guys, with 1.8.7 is quit amazing, thinging what was the 1.0 version ! do you remember it ?

I think you can keep 1.x working, it do a great stuff for simple needs, and it very stable, even under many parallel requests. You will then have 2 range of products for building Clouds :
-one basic and easy to install (1.x),
-and a stronger one, more complex to set up but adapted to wide clouds projects (2.x)

anyway I don’t have to give you advice, you’re doing it so well in only 2 years !

we’ll test it this week, deeply and will report bugs.

congratulations to the dev’team !!

It is so great to see people trying to do always better and always ready to reinvent things !

(So much better than people just changing names and themes and unable to invent…).

eyeOS 2.0 is the future !

Globally the “providers” (as we call them) are totally replaceable. In the current version we’re using: MySQL, SQLite and XML for different parts of the system. It will be 100% possible to use XML only, or SQLite only, or MySQL only. But it’s not possible at the moment because we didn’t have time to code all possible combinations. So for each system part we chose the fastest, but without neglecting the fact that there could be some more in a near future.

I hope my answer will put your mind at rest about this little misunderstanding. Don’t worry, we’re all going to make our best to produce a generic enough eyeos to run only with XML, or SQLite But that will simply not be the fastest to run, that’s all.

Stay tuned!

@lars, those differences are in the first version, Skytop’s goal is to continue eyeos 1.x. You can be sure that there will be more improvements in the next release
