Challenging the giants: Gnash

When we talk of rich interactive applications on the internet, Macromedia (now Adobe) Flash Player for web browsers comes to our mind. Over the years, Flash Player has found its way into almost 98% of the popular web browsers, but is still a proprietary Adobe product.

A new open source development is on to unfold a player to play the richness of the web's media interfaces. Keep a watch on this new development from the Free Software Foundation group. The draw back at this moment is that it just supports only upto the features listed under Flash Player 7. There is a lot that our friends at FSF have to work on to make this project a big success.
