Thanks, Credits & Acknowledgments

  • BioTeam Inc. for letting me work on this code (and give it away for free). BioTeam also hosts the xml-qstat.org server.
  • Cameron Kaiser for creating the HTTPi webserver, which provided the development basis for stepping away from server-side XSLT.
  • Mark James for the beautiful Silk Icon Library
  • The daemonized perl script used to cache XML status data is a wholesale ripoff of Mark Olesen’s qlicserver code. Used with permission.
  • The distribution contains several unaltered EXSLT Template files – Copyright Jeni Tennison, David Pawson, James Fuller and Uche Ogbuji
  • The distribution contains a redistributed (unaltered) copy of Bill Dortch’s javascript cookie handling.
