A good amount of developer manuals, installation manuals, and examples are important to understand a huge project, and Fisterra is a really huge one. This is important too to get a good comunity of people working on it (we are searching help, join us! \ud83d\ude42 )<\/p>\n<p>  But recently, in a conversation with <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.igalia.com\/alex\">Alex<\/a>, another Igalo, introduce me one technology: <strong>Internet Communications Engine<\/strong>, or sortly, <strong>Ice<\/strong>. Ice pretends to be a middleware similar to CORBA or COM. This was developed by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zeroc.com\">ZeroC<\/a>, a company founded by experienced CORBA developers. The idea is get a better middleware than CORBA. As ZeroC says, <em>&#8220;we neither wish to start a &#8220;CORBA vs. Ice&#8221; flame war nor do we want to discredit CORBA. On the contrary, we believe that CORBA was a great achievement for its time, and obviously Ice borrows many good ideas from CORBA&#8221;<\/em>. They only want to go to the next step.<\/p>\n<p>  I see the page and the features only a bit, but this looks great! And this was implemented by them himself, are complete, and are free (<em>libre<\/em>), using a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gnu.org\/copyleft\/gpl.html\">GPL<\/a> license.<\/p>\n<p>  Fisterra initially uses CORBA as the middleware for his communication layer, using the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.es.gnome.org\/documentacion\/articulos\/ORBit\/ORBit\/\">ORBit<\/a>  implementation. Then, adds support to SOAP, due some needs in a concrete project. And, what about uses Ice in Fisterra? This is a very interesting technology, and Fisterra was designed in a way that the comunication layer could be replace (this is a hard work, but not an IMPOSIBLE work), although the first task should be &#8220;it worth the effort?&#8221;. The next could be &#8220;we can use the three simultaneously?&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>  This task could be called &#8220;Freeze Fisterra&#8221;  &#8230; a good name \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m currently working on Igalia in order to get Fisterra better.
