I'll grab 2 and 3.
On 2 we don't currently have plans to use a GFS or MogileFS type storage. We will be adding Red Hat cluster to the Network edition and from our testing this is working pretty well.
With regard to 3 (AjaxTk) before we started we looked at all the tookkits that were out there. Remember this was in late 2003 so many of the links you provided weren't as complete or were just starting off as well. So at the time there was nobody else that had a low level SWT-like widget framework. We didn't want to re-invent the wheel and produce a toolkit but we had no choice. So for the time being we don't plan on switching since our toolkit suits our needs pretty well. |
