Wow do I love Google.  I mean between Gmail, notebook, Google code, Google search, Im pretty much set.  Oh I forgot to mention Gtalk, Google SpreadSheets, Google analytics, Google writly, Google Images, and Google webmaster.  Wow that’s a lot of Google [stay tuned for my Google Checkout w/ Rainbow 2.0].

 

    Moving on, well we finally are settled at Google.  We are going to soon make the Rainbow Portal sourceforge.net site inactive and concentrate efforts at Google [including the Rainbow 1.1 code].   What about Novell you ask?   While Novell has been solid for us, they have also been down a lot preventing our core team from dev and test.  They also don’t have an awesome bug system like Google does.  What Novell does have is releases and svn extracts which are useful for code distribution to the community.  However, there is a Google cloud in the sky.  They have already of course addressed this issue and are working on it.  We will of course wait for team Google to add this feature and for now will continue to release on Novell.

 

You can visit us Rainbow on Google code @ http://code.google.com/p/rainbow/ .

 

If you would like to help out the core team [we could use it!], just hit me up on Google.  All ya need is a gmail account and boom you could be on the project.  Of course I want to greet you, chat, see what you want to do and then lets roll.

 

In the meantime, I invite you to check out the awesome bug system.  Its VERY easy to use (why are they so good) and the team has already solved some issues affecting the next release.  And yes… a release is coming.  Give us some time hehe it’s a small core team and we have crazy lives.
