Open Source Agenda?
Mitch Kapor has finally posted some info about what his new company is working on, a Personal Information Manager. [Thanks to Dave Winer for posting about this, I didn't even know Mitch had a blog!]
The reason for posting the info here is that it involves Python and wxWindows/wxPython, though there isn't much about that in the blog post. I first found out about this project in late July at OSCON 2002 in San Diego. I found Mitch's reasons for using open source and Python/wxPython for a commercial software project to be quite compelling.
It has more info on the origins of the Open Source Applications Foundation. The technology pages highlight some of the things they are using and the architecture page shows how it is all supposed to fit together. If you want to contribute ideas or follow the progress of the applications, you can join the mailing list.
