It's not often I get excited about something as much as I am about SVG at the moment. To quote the O'Reilly book I "bought" - SVG is an "infinite canvas". You could well argue that Flash was just as powerful. As I see it, Flash falls down in that it's a closed binary format that requires expensive programs for developers, whereas SVG is nothing more than XML that you could write in Notepad. Not only that but you can easily incorporate it within your Domino design/data as you would any other SGML markup. Hence my excitement. Time to put all those "incorporating Flash with Domino" horror-ideas to bed!

I have to say a big thank you to Mr Braly at Adobe for mailing me a link to their SVG Knowledge Base (he's a Domino developer!) and the list of supported features in the v3 plugin.

There's a myriad of stuff out there on the subject. Have fun, I know I will. Already got the boss excited enough to splash out on a copy of Adobe Web Collection ;o)
