[ANN] DolphinHarbor

> We are pleased to announce DolphinHarbor, a meeting place for the Dolphin
> Smalltalk development community.
>
> We hope that DolphinHarbor will evolve into a community of people from all
> over the world who are interested in building and working with new tools and
> enhancements for the Dolphin Smalltalk programming language.
>
> We believe that, like ourselves, many Dolphin programmers in the world find
> themselves with few, if any, associates whom they can 'talk shop' with about
> Dolphin. This is unfortunate, since there are many talented Dolphin
> programmers out there- they just seem to be geographically disbursed and
> most seem to work individually or with small, isolated teams. In order to
> address this, we are trying to create an environment which helps Dolphin
> programmers collaborate, regardless of their physical location. We're
> interested in writing code, discussing all aspects of programming, and
> especially sharing ideas and brainstorming.
>
> The DolphinHarbor community is already at work: Thus far, we have focused on
> deploying Dolphin code as Web based servers, and exploring issues of
> distributed objects. As demonstration of these efforts thus far, we offer
> the dolphinharbor website itself.
>
> DolphinHarbor is itself run by Dolphin- it is served by a Dolphin 4 image
> running Dolphin Swazoo, which is a port of the Camp Smalltalk Smalltalk Web
> Application Server.  An extensive array of custom Swazoo resources provide
> creation of dynamic content.
>
> Our most exciting project is Dolphin Spray- a complete Dolphin-native SOAP
> implementation.  Although still in development, Spray has proven to be very
> stable, flexible, easy to use, and scores very well on SOAP interoperability
> tests.
>
> We welcome anyone who would like to participate in the community- whether
> you are interested in testing and improving an existing project, starting a
> new project, deploying an application as a WebService, or even if you just
> want to find people who you can bounce ideas off of!
>
> You can find us at http://www.dolphinharbor.org.
