Cloning RCS in Python
There’s some talk about cloning the Radio Community Server in Python and Java these days. RCS is already free, cloning a free add-in to a $40 product doesn’t make too much sense. Of course, if it turned out well, Frontier sales could be in trouble. The miracle of all of this, at least for Userland, is that not too many people are interested in cloning Radio itself. Fortunately from Userland’s perspective, Radio is so *cheap* that it’s probably not worth it to clone the thing — buying it (and getting ad-free webspace to host your blog, plus a groovy scripting environment) is a much better proposition.
