XAML Editor

I am pleased to offer you a text editor that you may use to create
XAML files. I created the program as a part of my senior project for my 
BS degree. It is still a work in progress but works. It can be
downloaded from 
http://lcbell4.tripod.com/SeniorProject/Senior_Project_XAML_Editor.htm

If you have any comments about the software just send me an email. 
You are encouraged to make a donation for the software as listed on
the web site and in the software.

Microsoft Announces XAML-Browser Plugin For Apple's Safari and other Browsers

Hello,

    Ben Galbraith writes in the blog story titled "Avalon Everywhere?
Cross-platform Microsoft?":

   Another interesting announcement here at PDC is that Microsoft is
creating a subset of their cool, fancy pants UI layer (formerly
code-named Avalon, now WPF) on other platforms, including the Mac! In
fact, one of the demos involved showing vector graphics rendered in
Safari using a Microsoft plug-in.

This subset, called WPF/E, will be powered by XAML (their XML dialect
for representing the UI) and JavaScript. Sound familiar? Yes, that's
right — Microsoft also announced a Dashboard clone for Windows Vista.
InterestingÂ…

Microsoft will never port .NET to other major operating systems, but
to have a subset of Avalon available on other platforms is a bit of a
curveball. In fact, in light of Firefox and Safari's upcoming support
of SVG and Canvas (and in the future, 3D functionality), this move
makes sense; Microsoft wants to provide their own proprietary solution
to cut off this new cross-platform initiative.

Also, Microsoft's Ajax framework, Atlas, will target WPF/E. The WPF/E
subset of Avalon will include all of the Avalon features (vector
graphics, animations, etc.) less 3D, some of their XPS features (XPS
== Microsoft PDF clone), and hardware acceleration.

In a WPF/E session, someone asked if Microsoft's WPF/E plug-in will be
available in Firefox; the speaker dodged the question ("We hope such

SVG Open 2006 Conference Organizer Discuss XAML Coverage

Hello,

   The SVG Open 2006 Conference organizer have setup a public
mailinglist for planning and coordinating the upcoming conference on
all things XML held in Victoria, British Columbia.

    Kurt Cagle - the conference chair - writes on XAML:

 Trying to figure out where to put XAML has long been one of the more
challenging parts of this puzzle - I tend, like Antoine, to be leery
about necessarily giving XAML too large a space, but at the same time
recognize that in this part of the world especially, Microsoft is an
important player and should not be excluded entirely from the
discussion.

I want to stress that to me, there are three fundamental aspects that
define SVG technology that should be used as reasonable criteria in
evaluating whether a given alternative technology should be given air
time --

1) Is the technology in question an open standard? In other words, is
the technology freely implementable by others without licensing fees
or membership in a particular company's for fee developer network?
This would tend to limit XAML participation, though given that it is
in essence a "competing" technology, I would dare say that it behooves
the community to at least be aware of it.

2) Is the technology XML based? Secondarily, if it is not itself an
XML schema based system, can it be made to work with or in the context
of an XML language? By this light, the Canvas object should be given
