Talk:Intent (Software)

The article on intent (software) was marked for speedy deletion for blatant advertising. I disagree that it was an advertisement. It said nothing about about whether the product was any good, simply what its purpose is. If I'd gone on about why it is an interesting product I could see the point but I didn't. As far as I know it is the only product around currently that supplies a platform independent way of providing content to mobiles though .NET probably will in the future and also subsumes the functionality of Java. I worked for Tao a number of years ago but don't any longer. The articles on Virtual Processor and Tao Group don't really make sense without a description of intent, after all why otherwise would one use a virtual processor instead of a compiler?

I suppose the point of platform independence and why a service provider wants it isn't all that obvious. I'll add a bit about it. Dmcq 07:17, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Okay I think I've changed it as much as I think fit, see what you think. Dmcq 08:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Looks like the article will be deleted - I'll move the contents under Tao as its main product. I think the article says what the product was an why it was particularly interesting, but even though the mobile/settop market is huge I guess only people who have had to produce software for it would really understand the significance of major aspects of it and it tends to be a closed market so very little is public.
