ScreenWeaver returns?

In our 6-projector tool showdown, we insisted on featuring ScreenWeaver, despite the tool no longer being available. Now the tool may return as an Open Source Flash project!

ScreenWeaver was a favorite projector tool among many Flash coders (Review), but something went wrong along the way and slowly the company behind the product dissolved. According to the main programmer, Edwin van Rijkom, the tool could best be described as "being asleep". Now that may change!

Edwin has been chatting with Darron Schall and he will release an updated codebase within a week or two under the GNU GPL License as a OS Flash project. Go Edwin, go!
