I've been waiting soooooo long for this to come true.
But damn... Thom, you're too quick to link to this news. I wanted to submit it 
EDIT: I don't what's best with this release. CUPS, better POSIX compatibility, or the Event class. Oooooooh, my day just got much much better

There is a chance that BurningShadow will come up with some sooner or later.
But at least there is this one, which is quite new:

It wouldn't be far from the truth to consider Orca to be for Syllable, what ARexx is for AmigaOS, or (Object) Rexx for OS/2.
You should visit http://syllable.org/forum.php and search for Orca

I went to buy the premium CD at http://www.lulu.com/syllable/ but they still have 0.6.0a listed. When they get around to updating the site, I'm buying it.

Interesting project...
I was wondering, anyone have any clue about Syllable's media framework? Does it use a directshow style framework, what codecs are available for the platform. Does Syllable have any alternatives to VirtualDubMod and AviSynth? Their website talks about their target audience
needing "multimedia playback and encoding" so I am guessing at one point the devs will want to add some multimedia encoding applications....

I probably told you the same thing back then: this is an Alpha version that is not feature complete, so things like dial-up arn't implemented yet. For those with non-dialup internet connections "surfing" works fine. If you want to be constructive, help get dial up working; Arno has ported pppd and it works with PPPoE (DSL) connections. That's the hard part done. It just needs a little more work to get it working on dial-up.
If you're not going to do that, then you have to accept the fact that it isn't done yet and be patient. I know it's far easier to troll OSNews instead of helping, but you sometimes have to accept that life is a little larger than your own world.
