If you read the reviews (most of which were quite positive,) the people who liked it were looking at the real functionality (it could edit their documents, it could surf the web, read email, etc.) Walmart was selling $200 PCs running gOS (no, that doesn’t stand for googleOS, but greenOS, based on Ubuntu 7.10,) and they sold out.

See if they have good documentation. How do you go about finding out whether it’s the right software, and whether the project has a healthy community, since you don’t want to adopt a project that doesn’t? Check out the website. Make sure that the features that it outlines there match your requirements. How busy is it?

And, as Dustin pointed out in the comments to my venting post earlier, a lot of this is not the fault of open source desktop software developers. If pretty much all I did was documents, email and the web, like many people, I wouldn’t be having these issues. I do demand a lot of my system.

A couple of annoyances: the documentation for the APIs aren’t up yet, and the sample code they are going to publish is in C# and Java! It seems like it will start out with a local query system, then will be opened up to allow third party development of data analysis tools. That part looks very interesting.

One of my favorite quotes in the Connect documentation is this one: “As long as you can invoke the API over HTTP, your application can be Microsoft, HP, IBM, Novell, Oracle, even Sun-based. It appears, from perusing the documentation, that someone in Kintera saw the light, and included PHP code. The API is SOAP.
