1.	So now I have stuff to say to our current users and developers.
2.	First, we believe Windows/Mac make an excellent high-performance workgroup server, or even a public web server for a moderate-flow, membership-based dynamic site, serving up to 50,000 Frontier-rendered pages per day. However, if you want to deploy a public dynamic site handling more traffic, neither Mac OS or Windows NT, running on today's hardware, can handle that kind of load.
3.	Also, the Mac/Windows platform provides the richest base of tools and browsers, far richer than Unix. Further, most computer users use Windows, with Macintosh a strong second. So the fact that we already have strong tools on these platforms is an advantage we fully plan to leverage with future products. The goal is to simplify the web-writing experience. As I've said before, having strong content management software on servers is critical to making that work, but it's also important to have easy-to-use software running on the popular desktop platforms.
4.	Second, we are porting Frontier to Linux. As we take these first steps, there's nothing existing Frontier developers have to do, other than watch, or if you want, get involved and make a contribution. Our goal in getting Frontier to Linux is to create a high-level web writing system that can scale up to Yahoo or eBay levels of traffic. The first step is to start porting sites so we learn from others which issues to push and which to hold back on. Even Linux has its limits. We don't know how high Zope can scale. We're going to hop around quite a bit, try out lots of ideas, quickly, and see what makes sense.
5.	We're opening this process because that's what makes sense to us. We're investing in Linux because that also makes sense. We're investing in Zope and Python because we're kindred souls, we have compatible philosophies, so it's easy to make our software compatible. We're publishing source code and tutorials to show people how to use their Mac and Windows skills to deploy scalable applications on Linux. Our focus is on building systems that leverage the advantages of all platforms. We don't have an allegiance to any individual platform. We don't want to see Microsoft or Apple lose. We just want to make great servers and web writing environments and help others do the same.
