"Hi dudes,

We're getting closer to the first month
of existence of XtremLab, and we'd like to thank you all for your participation. XtremLab is still at a beta stage and require a lot effort to make it work at large scale.

We'd like to make a point and communicate about our on-going work.

1) we're working hard on the validator in order to reward those of you who have already contributed.
Development takes time. First, because we want to make sure that it's reliable from security point of view (to avoid cheaters) and from scalability point of view (post treatments implies Gigs of data).
2) Windows client. We're targetting XP first and maybe 2000. Portage has been delayed due to point 1).
3) Fix the current bugs with the forum and the work queue.
4) release client version for MacOSX, FreeBSD, SunOS.
5) Near the end of the experience, we'll publish source code and API to access the traces collected.

There's no plan in the near future to release client version for Windows 9x and older Windows or DOS versions.

It's very hard to associate dates to the roadmap. Paul is working hard on point 1) but if we come with a bad solution, the whole project will collapse. Clearly, point 1) is our bottleneck now. Once it is resolved, the windows version should follow shortly after.

So, once again, thanks you guys for your help and your participation !!"
