the first prototype server along with components of the second
server…

“Linux.com: What are the current goals of the Berlin project
now?”

“Stefan Seefeld: To create a modern user interface which is
network transparent, highly efficient (even hardware accelerated if
possible), suitable for an international user base (see text
processing) and highly extensible and customizable. Did I miss
anything?”

“Graydon Hoare: Easy to add to, easy to extend. Hopefully more
inviting to people who want to experiment.”
