IMHO, the interesting part of this project it’s not only the technological side, but the new development model. It seems like an IBM experiment trying to investigate the, using J. Cuomo words, “social side of the software development process” applied to commercial software, that is, instead of building commercial software in a traditional/closed style, with little customer involvement, they are opening this process to criticism, suggestion, opinions, … It’s like the open source development process, but applied to commercial software.

Anyway, we need to digest it and pay attention to the project zero blog, as I expect more clarifications from IBM in the next days …

However, I wonder why they are charging license fees when there is currently so many Open Source alternatives in the scripting world for rapid web application development and deployment.
