Interaction with other program objects. It can interact locally with other aglets or stationary objects. When necessary, it can dispatch itself or other aglets to remote locations to interact with other objects there. If a computer is currently disconnected from the network, the aglet can schedule itself to move when the computer is reconnected. Multiple aglets can be dispatched to run concurrently in different computers.
People improve it, people adapt it, people fix bugs.
And this can happen at a speed that, if one is used to the slow pace of conventional software development, seems astonishing. The open-source community believes that this rapid evolutionary process produces better software than the traditional closed model, in which only a very few programmers can see source and everybody else must blindly use an opaque block of bits. Read more about Open Source at Opensource.org . Source code from the CVS respository . Top Plans for the future Currently the Aglets.org team is still forming and working our the procedures for the project, so only the project admins and developers have write access to the aglets source.
