There's really only 3 API calls. 1 Fetch a request 2 Notify server about error 3 Upload a request. All three use very simple HTTP POST calls. There's nothing preventing you writing a t at h client in java. the whole rendering code is a mere few hundreds perl lines, so it's not impossible to rewrite it in java. xslt does not require perl, it's just the closed-areas preprocessor that requires perl then...

nothing prevents you from copying a version that works on windows to a win.stable directory, even now. as others have said, we ssimply have no way to test.

Come on, this is aa bullshit argument. calling us exclusive as none of the developers can afford a win license and none of the win users has stepped forward to help support their platform, does not make us exclusive. open source tends to include those that are volunteering to DO things.
