If Mozilla, Opera and Apple’s Safari browser have their way, the HTML specification (define) could be getting its first major point update in a decade.

The three vendors have banded together in a proposal to the W3C for the HTML 5 specification, which includes Web Apps 1.0 and Web Forms 2.0 specifications and that it’s also backwards compatible with HTML 4.

“HTML5 is about preserving the information people have accumulated over the years,” Opera spokesperson Anne van Kesteren told internetnews.com. “By remaining backward and forwards compatible, we hope to ensure that people will be able to interpret HTML for decades if not centuries to come.”

• VMware - Official Site : Get VMWare; learn how virtualization can reduce costs, improve manageability.
• New! - Installing VirtualBox On Ubuntu: How-To install InnoTek’s VirtualBox to create and run “guest operating systems” (ie, “virtual machines”), such as another Linux or Windows, under Ubuntu Desktop.
• New! - JupiterWebcasts: Several Web seminar broadcasts on virtualization are scheduled for the next few days, starting ICT.19-04-2007, at Jupiter’s “Online Educational IT and Events” page. Note: Prior registration is required. Though these “Webinars” (or “Webcasts”) likely focus on Windows, some SGLuggers may still be interested, if only for the sake of comparison or a more comprehensive knowledge of the virtualization.

Tuesday February 07, 2006 (03:01 PM GMT), Robert W. Oliver II wrote at Linux.com on the benefits of using LightTPD and how to install it on GNU/Linux system behind Apache.

If your Apache Web server is struggling under the weight of streaming media content or database-driven applications, a lightweight HTTP server called Lighttpd or “Lighty” can help alleviate Apache’s load by serving static content or CGI scripts as an Apache proxy.

“If you have some heavy-duty PHP scripts or a Ruby on Rails application,” wrote Oliver II, “you might be better off letting Lighttpd handle it, as its FastCGI load-balancing is superior to Apache’s.”

has been designed to find and deliver easy access to source code and related technical information (licensing, requirements, usage, support…) in open source repositories and code that exists in archives, mailing lists, blogs, and Web pages round the globe via a Googlesque user interface.

The motive being to improve global coders’ speed and ease of access to primarily FLLO (Free|Libre|Linux|Open-source) software source code and an expected acceleration of global FLLO information-systems production.

As Linux-Watch’s Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols reports, “Beta testers can sign up for the search engine on Krugle’s website. The project is schedule to go live for testing on March 8th at the O’Reilly Emerging Technology Conference.”

While not FLLO itself, Krugle contributes to the FLLO software communities it is based upon, including the Apache Software Foundation’s Nutch and Lucene Web search projects — themselves, of course, building further upon the Apache web-server project which has dominated Internet web services for over a decade.

Klugel also integrates the Antlr (ANother Tool for Language Recognition) programming language translation tool, itself based on Java, Python and DotGNU/Mono for Open-source or Microsoft compatibility.
